Marcus_Brent: I want to play Descent the old Origin game. Is there any way of playing any demos on this site? How do I know I won't be ripped off?
Are there any admins here?
The store page would state if it was a demo, usually in the title, or if a demo was available (usually). And there are a few of them on the site but not many. And far as whether or not you will get ripped off? That is a matter of perspective, I guess. If you buy a game you will get it, you will be able to download it, but there are no guarantees that it will work well or that the game will be good. And if you have to contact technical support for help, good luck because you will be waiting for several weeks to get anywhere and chances are they will not be able to resolve the issue. The forums are a good place for some answers but that is also hit and miss.
It is worth it to research a game that you want but aren't sure of to make sure that it runs on your operating system and is something you will like. Reviews, although terrible for whether a game will be good or not, are usually very good at informing people about issues with stability and crashing (or not working). They have a return policy in place, also, so look that up and see if it works for you.
