Hmm, we never thought of that. ED must have forgotten as well, perhaps Aerosoft, PMDG and a few other trivial names out there. Seems it just killed em sales-wise.
Reputation and pretty much every review out there including PC-pilot Platimum and Avsim Gold Star is there for any one of those FOOLs to take a look at, so it's really only sight unseen if you don't look, isn't it? There are reasons why we and many other developers, especially in this segment, don't have demos; they create unnecessary vulnerabilities.
