Myst Island is free on the new one but the ages are a one time IAP. Kind of a neat way to let folks try the game out IMO.
Which is what happened when I tried playing DQ.
If I was a bean counter, however, I would say to axe the demo and add some micro transactions to the game. It’s a bad idea to let people try it beforehand and make their own decision on whether the game is good or not. Clearly we haven’t traded enough goodwill of our players, excuse me, customers, in exchange for some short term profits.
