This reminds me of the story of Blizzard seeing Dominion Storm at E3 in 1996. After seeing the demo, they felt like they should kill Starcraft because of how much "better" Ion Storm's demo was than their own.

Turns out is was mostly smoke and mirrors, and Blizzard made an exceptional game because of it.
