Years ago System Shock 2 had a demo which was basically just the introduction to the story, and the new Prey recently was similar. Both lead to me purchasing the full game almost instantly after completing the demo.

Also, in addition to streamers and youtube, I find the 2 hour playtime window for which Steam will refund unquestioningly, helps alleviate the stress of making a bad purchase. Provided the game is available on Steam, of course!

That's exactly how the Tomb Raider demo is, and just like you it led me to purchase the game afterwards – I wanted to see the rest! Almost certainly I wouldn't if I had watched the thing streamed though.

The two hour window is nice, but when does it start? I'll buy games sometimes because they are a good deal, during a sale or something, but not play them until long after. Regardless, I only ever play on my PS4, so I buy games through their store. Not sure what the return policy there is.

Two hours of playtime, or two weeks since you bought the game.

That's remarkably fair, thanks for the insight!
