It allows the demo to have the full codebase to work within. The demo is better than it might have been.
Yes that would be correct but they would loose thousands of would be customers that can't quite make their mind up.
Those people can still get the demoand the game. It's nota lsot sale; it *might* be a deferred sale. No loss, right?
It rewards those who pre-ordered. I dig that part. They believed in us . . they get to play sooner than the non-believers.
Well I preordered where is my beta. I now feel that I got robed as I have paid for something that I don't know if i still want it any more. Very dissapointed that i didn't get into the beta. THQ would never of treated its customers this bad.
You have not lost anything either. The open and close periods were posted on the forums. You will, however, be able to download the game on release day in your PJs if you want. You are still a winner.
