Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

If a demo is enough of a fix for a customer, then that's got to mean that something wrong with the product overall.

Good games keep you engaged, bad games you leave alone.

I personally agree with that sentiment. Rather than demos, I lean into cheap early access indie games that seem cool on steam, and use subscriptions to check out bigger games (humble choice and xbox gamepass). Tons of games to try, while still less than one "full" game in cost each month.
