Demo = Fullgame? Wtf.

Hi guys.
I wanted to download the demo to try the game out and it isn't downloading "Zombie Driver Demo" it is downloading "Zombie Driver"!
And also the download takes a bit too long for a Demo :P

Whats up with that?

Yes it is big, but it is a demo.

The part that annoyed me is that the amount it told me would be required to install the demo wasn't correct. It said a bit over 500MB when it downloaded over 900MB.

Thanks for clearing that up!

I noticed that most games don't return the exact download size when you press "install", but you can see the correct amount only after starting the download. I think it's a problem of Steam anyway.

Most games (I'm not sure if this is one) download the full game for the demo, but either put a time limit or cut off access to key features. It's done that way because all the parts need to be there sometimes for the game to even run.
