Disable Reviews on Demos

I think reviews on Demos make very little sense. Why this? Because if a customer is happy with a demo, they will buy the full version. So obviously they will never review the Demo. Which means that demo items are reviewed ONLY by unhappy customers: the happy ones have switched to the full version.
So the reviews on a demo items never reflect the quality of this item.

I have reviewed demos in the hope that the vendor and/or prospective customers will get a glimpse of what works and what doesn't work with a product. I think it makes sense to allow feedback on demos. It's a great way for a creator to see how they can improve their work, and can be helpful to customers, giving them something to look out for when they try the demo first hand. They can then decide if the issues mentioned are of concern before purchasing a full product. Feedback/reviews on demos are beneficial as a whole.

Actually, with the suggestion made by @Talia Tokugawa, this suggestion would be unnecessary: by consolidating all variants of an item in the same page — including fatpacks & demos — would allow all reviews to be in the same page as well. Individual reviewers, of course, would be able to add if they had just tested the demo, or variant A, or colour 3, etc. but they would not be required to do so.

I agree with this suggestion. Demos are not real products. They dont have all the options most of the times. If someone doesnt buy a product, he mustnt have the right to review. A bad review for a demo may cause decreasing number of tries by other people. Demos are to try out, give your own decision.

I disagree. Any disabling of reviews shows the seller's bad faith, even on the demo version! Reviews should be on everything and on the demo including. Sometimes you have to read other people's opinions in order to understand the necessity of a purchase. I often use reviews on the demo and on the main product, I always find reviews useful!

I disagree. If the demo isn't up to par I want to know so I don't waste my time.

Kathlen Onyx You can just read the reviews on the full version, that is the same, and is more fair, because the full version is reviewed by both happy and unhappy customers.
