[QUOTE="SilverBalls, post: 130360, member: 340"] I actually think the demos allow way too much gameplay and I am sure that a lot of people (not people on this forum) make do with the relatively generous demos and don't buy. I have a couple of friends who are like that. They play PA demos only. Because they don' t care about high scores or completing missions they just start again. There are many people like this. Now if you set the demo to 30 seconds or 60 seconds this would be frustrating and people might buy more tables. I remember Pro Pinball The Web in the 90s dished out a 20 or 30 second demo. It was enough to blow peoples mind and make them buy. I think FS should try something similar. As for dealing with pirates. With a bit of luck someone will create a pirated copy which formats the users hard drive after 10 or so free games. Theft needs to be punished :) [/QUOTE]
