AoA, Carguy and DavidH....oh! and Bongodrums. Seriously though, I can't see the harm in a demo for BoM, it's actually a bl**dy brilliant idea to let people try it out. Just a couple of planes on a small MP map with a few missions to show the new features off. Also, access to full options like graphics and controls of course so people can test it out on their rigs. This would eliminate a great deal of the complaints because it would throw out the "I've been robbed of my 40€ fortune for this cr*p!" arguments right out the window. Or, like many other devs are doing these days, have a "free to try weekend" on Steam where you can try the full game for a couple of days and then decide if it's worth your dough.

I know for sure, I won't be buying it day one no matter how much luthier and Co will blow it up. That first day buy trust is gone with the wind, I'll see the feedback on the boards instead and reviews of course, like simhq, which I trust.
