    Sweet! I like the idea of allowing for demos to have their own page instead of being part of the full/finished game page. Not sure if demos should have reviews. That seems kinda beside the point.

      I just want DLC to be shoved into their own container so I can never look at them cluttering the store.

        Oooh. Personally, I don’t mind that, but now that you mention it, yes, there totally ought to be search/queue options to let us hide demos.

          It’s just annoying when looking for a game, and getting pages of recommendations for the sims 4 dlc when I don’t even own the sims.

          Advertising the post sales stuff prior to even buying the game isn’t very bright.

      If it’s an “early release” demo or something, like some games do with a limited time, partial access, demo? It should have its own reviews. When the game is fully released, I feel split. On the one hand, you’d be giving feedback for a small part of the game, but on the other you wouldn’t be seeing reviews about content not contained in the demo.
