Since when are demos paid for
They....aren't? They're free demos, right there in the title.
I think he's trying to say that the phrase "free demos" implies the existence of demos you have to pay for.
They do - it’s called “early access”
That's just a release though, only they're being honest about how unfinished and buggy their game is.
Kind of like the Pizza Hut demo discs for PS1?
Like free trials, they keep free in the name just to make sure it is clear and because people like free stuff.
