    Seems counterintuitive to have a full page for a demo :/

      Yeah I thought so, too. But this does come with the pretty big benefit that the demo will have it’s own reviews. Which is cool. I like that. And to be fair, they already showed up as their own entry in search results as if they had a page, they just then also went to the same page.

        I think just having a tab (just below the game description) showing reviews and rating for demos and for the full game, without having a dedicated app ID, should be enough.

      I’ve noticed getting a demo installed with proton enabled to kind of an issue. This should solve that, though there are are ways that could be fixed.

    Bring on the rise (return) of demos!

    Demos for all!

    I don’t know, but this feels like a step back. I haven’t downloaded/played a demo since, like, 2005. There’s usually a gameplay video or review on YouTube that suffices before I purchase something. Ymmv :/
