After some players discovered vulnerabilities that could access the full game, the "Magic Experiment" demo appeared to be offline.
Announced on Steam to temporarily cancel demo access. The reasoning provided stated: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, we need to temporarily take the demo version of the magic on Steam offline. We hope to back it up soon."
The statement aims to clarify that players who have made progress in the demo will be able to resume from where they were interrupted as soon as they are back online.
Although the developer ’s statement is not clear as to why the demo should be deleted first, players are still speculating on the reason. A comment originally published in Chinese was roughly translated as: Although the demo is originally a good thing for players, it will naturally lead to exploitation.
Other reviewers gathered to explain the legitimacy of this claim and pointed to a particularly exploitable weakness that often accompanies Square Enix demonstrations: Denuvo Anti-Tamper.
One commenter explained: “As long as the game is protected with Denuvo, pirates will continue to look for solutions.” “The demo may never be restored because it will generate a key for Denuvo, which is to play the full version of the game All the pirates needed. SE just got rid of Denuvo and everything will be fine. "
This is not the first time the demo has been cancelled, because players have found a free and accessible way to access the full game before launch. Back in February 2018, for the same reason, SEGA was forced to withdraw from the Yakuza 6 demo from the PS Store.
