With the release of the Fifa 15 demo earlier this week i started to wonder what has happened to demos in recent years.
Back in the PS1 era it was very easy to come by demos in the form of demo discs taped to the front of magazines and even before that the Amiga that we had would have magazines with floppy discs taped to the front of them, Some even with full games on them.
When the last generation came along with consoles being able to access the internet all sorts of possibility's opened up, The 360 forged ahead and allowed a lot of companies to release demos, I think every game on the arcade store has a demo, Unfortunately on the PS3 there wasn't that many demos to be had and this trend has continued onto the PS4 and the Xbox one.
As for an explanation i hope this Extra Credit video answers the questions.
