Steam adds more functionalities to demos. Demos can now have their own page and reviews (store.steampowered.com)

I don’t know, but this feels like a step back. I haven’t downloaded/played a demo since, like, 2005. There’s usually a gameplay video or review on YouTube that suffices before I purchase something. Ymmv :/

Demos are good to see how they run on your setup. I prefer to play a demo myself than watch a clip before I buy.
