No? I’ve been gaming for thirty years and no I don’t remember demos being used for that.

Overwatch, Halo 3, CoD: world at war, every World of Warcraft release including vanilla, Rift, all of these had betas before release that identified significant technical issues that were fixed before their full releases. Those are just the few I can think of off the top of my head.

My original comment said demos/betas, maybe read next time?
