Marc can't do anything about rosters (legally), and Markus can't rewrite the interface in a patch, but SI could provide a friendlier demo.

All the publiciity in the wolrd won't do any good if people can't give the game a true test drive once they download it.

The sad truth is that you only get one chance to make your pitch -- and the demo is the pitch. If people get annoyed, or can't really get a feel for the game with it, it's hurting sales more than it is helping them.

Just my two cents....

Well said - I agree with your insight; but I also tried that a few pages back and was told by THE MAN that the demo period is sufficient. Maybe for him, but not for me.
