Maybe the days of buying games to try them out and refund them will be behind us soon?
It looks like Steam has quietly added a new feature: timed free game trials. While once upon a time , getting a 'free trial' of a game generally meant buying it, trying it out, and returning it before Steam's 2-hour refund window closed, it appears that publishers will now be able to offer time-limited demos in a more structured, formal way. , which you can play for an hour and a half, but I imagine more will follow.
There's no word on if or when the free trial feature will be extended to other games, but I'd be baffled if it didn't crop up elsewhere down the line. The demo is a bit of a lost art in these digital-first days, but I think there's still a hunger on the part of many to try before they buy. With any luck, a Steam-supported free trial system could see demo versions become standard practice again, or at least more common than they are now.
