You have it all figured it out JoeCoolMan24, run with it! Nice CAPS adds drama!

I said it's a theory, I didn't say it was fact. And even if it was, no one from SCEA would ever say it.

And yes, CAPS shows the ridiculousness of the fake conversation they would have.

Possibly. But if they had planned on a demo, they would have staffed up for it or portioned time accordingly. You could also argue that if they worked an extra 30 minutes a day, they could have had added a new feature as well. These are just time management and staffing things that could have all been possible if they planned for it. Yeah, if all the sudden 3 weeks ago someone says "crap, let's release a demo for this game" and therefor other things get pushed back or not worked on, then sure, it's not beneficial. But you could argue they could have cut time out of promoting to add another feature as well.

From what I've read, I don't think that's possible.... They work insane hours on the game

I don't disagree, it was just an example.

I think they didn't release a demo just to spite you...

It would have been nice to have a demo a few weeks back if they could have revealed some of the newer things, but I cannot find it in me to fault anyone. As long as the game itself is constantly improving with each release a demo is not a priority for me. Tuesday cannot get here fast enough!

Well I think its safe to say the most people on here would buy the game regardless of a demo. And when they do release a demo they leave alot of the features out due to space. They don't include commentary and they give us only 3 innings of gameplay with minimal options anyway.

No big deal really.
