"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."

Yeah it's a shame demos died out. Now studios (or publishers, more likely) just expect everyone to pay for a game they don't even know they'll like, and tough shit if you don't like it.
A lot of indie games on steam still do demos actually but yeah shitty that AAA games don’t do them anymore.
Huh, I haven't run into an indie with a demo recently, but it's definitely great to hear that demos are still a thing in the wider indie scene.
During the many steam festivals, there will be indie games with demos.
The last Steam Next Fest in June had so many demos, I only had time for like 4-5. There were quite a few posts and comments (including mine) on the demos we tried.
They want people to buy before they know what is like so they don't have a chance to reconsider or regret it. This is why they hype preorders.
