Foo on you software weenies. A number of people here liked it.  Why
don't you bitch about all the games being posted. Now there's a waste
of money. oops, marketing just said some of the games make neat demos
for our products. Well, guess there's an audience for almost
everything, huh? 

It doesn't matter if it's a "commercial demo". If enough people want
it then it is justified.
