I call em full version demos. Specifically because I buy when it's good. The 2 hour steam thing sometimes, just isn't enough to really know. It usually is tho.
Yeah, trusting that anything Internet connected keeps working is a pipedream these days unfortunately.
Hardware and software.
I don't even trust non-unlockable bootloaders. There's so much planned obsolescence everywhere
that's why i dont buy digital games on nintendo. one day the service ends and it's gone forever.
I'm not buying Nintendo at all, so many shitty policies from that camp
That's why I only buy games on GOG. After purchase I archive the installer, and it's mine forever. On console you are really fucked.
