This could also backfire for them too as if people speed run through the game, they may not want to buy it afterward so they would lose sales. Some people may even complete the game before the degrading feature removes levels from the game and not want to buy it. This good also backfire big time when it comes to piracy as ubi-soft's internet plan was cracked in 25 hours. More people may pirate the game to see the last bits that disappeared or to get a free copy without having to pay.

“About your Recent Patenting of Degradable Demos for Playstation Games:

[PLEASE ANSWER]

Why should you implement it?

What good would it do to consumer's influence with the games in terms of social, commercial, and budgeting terms?

Will this 'new' demo technique degrade sales even deeper from piracy?

HOW WILL YOU IMPRESS THE CONSUMER TO STAY WITH YOU???”

My overall thought when I first viewed it would be the most controversial Demo technique ever made. Even worse than time trail based on the full game when it was done by several PC game hosting sites.

Moreover, what do they have against demos? They are not the full game, right?
I was used to collect demos…

It’s U.S. Pub. No. 2010/0056269 A1, which is just a publication of an APPLICATION for a patent. It hasn’t been patented; it may or may not ever become a patent.

It might have more sense if they were only downloadable from PSN (trial version of XBLA games are all full), but they'd probably be too big for that. And in that case, a normal demo would do just fine anyway.

In short: do not want.

Companies need to stop trying to bite the hand that feeds them. Is it's really so hard to package new games with bonuses or…you know, make a game that's good? Making demos that screw the player over isn't exactly a smart idea. I don't have enough faith in the enjoyability of most current-gen games to be enticed by a crappy demo, I'm sorry to say.
