There's a hilariously fitting story about dystopian futures and the consequences of corporate expansion somewhere in Syndicate's evolution from brainy blast-from-the-past to, well, lots of blasting, but it's quite a lengthy (not to mention depressing) tale. Unfortunately, however, we've now got an epilogue, and it's not exactly all cybernetic bunnies and artificially generated rainbows. While console players are getting a co-op demo of Syndicate's FPS reboot later this month, EA's officially gone on record saying that "There are no current plans for a PC demo." But at least we're not coming away completely empty handed. GOG.com – being the wondrous conglomerate of time-manipulating wizards that is it – is removing the original Syndicate from cryostasis and stocking its virtual shelves. Sounds like a win in our book.

Come on, with services like OnLive it should be way much easier to provide a timed demo without having to prepare two sets of files.

This type of bitch move should be expected from EA by now.

well announcemnets like this tell me that syndicate on PC would be another console port.
another case where dev is held back by consoles using tech from 2005/6, if we get lucky they will slap some code on it for a bit better graphics but maybe not-
we can just pray we don't get stopped by the famous:

This game seems promising, but I get the feeling it's just going to end up being a Deus Ex clone.

Man... Cryostasis is one of the best games out there. And it comes without DRM. As for a PC demo... I am not really stressing it. As long as I can get my insane sales from GamersGate or Amazon Digital... I am all good.
