Catan Demo Pulled from Marketplace

Wed, 2007-05-02 21:15 — Hexx
As many of you are coming home from work and school this afternoon, you will notice the peculiar fact that Catan does not have a demo. According to Microsoft, "technical difficulties" have forced them to pull the Catan demo; however, the full version is still available. Why did this happen? After scouring the net it appears that users were able to get achievements in the demo version of the game! Did anyone luck out and earn a few free achievements this morning?

DaKing, you'd better be careful. If they catch you playing a contraband demo they'll send people to your house to throw tennis balls at you until you delete it. It happened to me with that buggy King Kong demo last year.

[14:39] and I hate centipede
[14:39] so...
[14:39] you know....
