Yes it does make it extremely risky downloading demos now! I wont download a demo now until I know what protection the full retail game has.
Or if I do download a demo, like I did with the Fear demo, I make sure I scan it first. And you can imagine my relief to find out it was Securom and not starforce. Unless the scan shows the actual protection I wont install the Demo. If the scan comes up with none or unknown protection then I presume this to be Starforce! I know it doesnt always mean it is Starforce but its safer to presume it is instead of installing the demo only to find out 'Unknown' was in fact a new version of Starforce!

I think the main reason for F.E.A.R not having starforce is that it would be such a great performance hit when playing. Starforce is and will continue to be a major PiA... On the other hand I rarely bother with demos any longer. A few years ago demo's coming for all games, nowadays I rarely see them. Not that I look either anymore but still... I think the demo's have lost most of their glory.

If the game is as big as 100 hours gaming experience the demo can be up to 2-5 hours (SpellForce)...but if a game lasts 10 hours such as Serious Sam 2 or Total Overdose, a demo cant take 3 hours
Why spending 45 € on anything you can get a third of it for free
