Time limited demo Version?

Just in the case that Frontier is still interested in getting people back to the game after they totally failed with their refund policy, are there any plans on giving people demo access?

I might come back to ED but not without testing the game before I waste money on it again without the chance of getting a refund again if it is still the (for me) boring, broken and incomplete game it was half a year ago.

I think it would be nice if Frontier would open ED for everyone, not just previous bakers, for testing it. It shouldn't be a big problem for them to give people X hours of access when they release a new milestone like the upcoming 1.3 build.

I can see releasing the training missions as a demo, but I would hope they wouldn't allow people to try out the full game on a trail basis. It's not a single player game - though it can look like that a lot of the time.

If you didn't like it before, chances are you won't like it now.

I'd caution against buying it and trying for a refund for the 2nd occasion - you've already had a refund once, I doubt FD would be willing to do it twice especially as you know what you're getting this time. If you don't, see youtube/twitch streams.

I think it's a great idea to release the game tutorials for free, maybe if they add some trading and exploration tutorials to complete the package.
