I remember the old shareware. You got a small taste of the game free and if you wanted more you paid. When Asheron's Call 2 came out it came with a short trial period. Not three months or anything to break the software company's back. The golf analogy is a good one. To get the full experience you must play on a course. Or you get a device for putting practice in the basement. Not the full experience, but a sample.
