Gregory's ServerAs someone who came of age during the shareware era, I'm really enjoying these Steam events where they have playable demos of upcoming games. I feel like demos are something that a lot of developers didn't spend time on for various reasons, and Valve is now incentivizing them to do so.

@darius The XBLA era where every game was forced to have a free demo was something of a miracle. I get why that level of standardization is gone now (digital distribution is way different now from what XBLA was meant to be), but it was so great to be able to sample everything in the store |
@darius Commander Keen shareware!
