To be fair, a legitimate review would have just been "Holy shit, this is 96k. Holy shit. Just 96k. Jesus. That's less than the space taken than a single screenshot. Wow."
EDIT: Oh, I see what happened. He thought "demo" referred to a game demo, as in a limited edition of a full game.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, those are real demodevs. Games are not about technical superiority - they're about having fun and projecting stories and emotions, just like any other art form.
