The Player's Club Podcast Ep 95: PlayStation Plus and the State of Game Demos
You ready for this, Playa? Welcome back to The Player’s Club! This episode has Emmett Watkins Jr and Allan Muir returning to talk about the current state of game demos. With the new and improved PlayStation Plus promising 2-hour game trials once it releases this summer, it’s time to consider if locking trials behind this paywall is a good idea.
