I had heard a bit about total war: shogun 2 and it seemed interesting, so i went to download the demo off Steam, only to see that it's a whopping 6GB. I think there's a fat chance I'll be downloading all that just for the demo. Has anyone here played the demo? Do you think that next gen games demos are all going to be that big? Post your thoughts!

Most countries have download limit. I live in NZ and I get 30 gigs limit per month. Thats for the household as a whole, so I am not the only one using it. Sometimes it takes me 2 month to download a game from steam after I buy it, 8 gigs per month for GTA 4... Sometimes I copy the game files from my friends after buying a game to save bandwidth. Currently got 5+ game download backlog.

There are not as many demos as before, and I think its partially because of the file sizes. Demo sizes can only go up, especially with improving graphics. Better graphics usually means largest file sizes. But 6 gigabytes is the largest demo I have seen and it is larger than many of the games I got installed now.

I have a pretty decent amount of bandwidth (200gb DL+UL) but it'll still take me ages to download it and it's JUST a demo. That's what i find so ridiculous, the fact that a whole game could be that big and yet i'm downloading so much just so that i can play a small portion of the whole game :S.

I managed to grab the demo off a file hosting site. The guy just made a Steam recovery disc and uploaded it. That way, I grabbed it at school using their T1 connection, I only have basic DSL at home.

By "most people" I meant the general population that uses internet. I wasn't talking specifically about gamers, just every day people who use internet for email, web browsing, etc.... Not everyone that uses internet (even if gamer) downloads digitally ya know... :)
