No Multiplayer in Demo?

Postby JavaScrybe » Sat Sep 20, 2008 4:19 pm

Hi,

DefCon was a huge hit within my work team as the demo allowed you to play the default game normally. I started out with the only full version, and now everyone in the group has their own key, so that we can have fun with further modes (for example, we like Survivor with 3 cities :))

Now Multiwinia seems to have a demo that does not give access to multiplayer games. Seems a bit odd for a game named Multiwinia. Any plans to add that support?

Even though the demo doesn't allow Multiplayer games, I can't help notice that this seems a little odd ...

I noticed that.

Presumably the metaserver decides whether the demo can play Multiplayer and that option is for when this happens.

Given that the demo is the full game with several features locked, that seems possible.

I did. I searched for "demo multiplayer". Nothing pertinent came up. (now, my post does...)

This was not so much a question as an opinion.

Sorry, then.
