Not everyone is a hardcore WotC fan and in a new game demo you want to make access to the demo as easy as possible to cast the net as broadly as possible. At the outset, the $6 fee narrows the net considerably and thus lessens the impact of the demo opportunity. While $6 may sound like only a small amount to you, there are those like me who have to watch every penny. Added to this the fact that I have 4 kids that might like to do the demo and you've suddenly turned it into a $30 expense for me. So sure, the $6 demo might cast a net wide enough to draw you in, but it would exclude me. And that's just bad marketing. I agree with whomever said that the smart move would be to give the stores some sample cards and allow those to be given away as free samples to go along with the game. That creates an experience that right from the beginning appeals to everyone, thus making the net pretty broad.</blockquote>
