You may be thinking I’ve lost my mind. “Lindsay, writing about a PC demo for a game that launched in 2020 is strange.” I get it. I rarely cover demos, and I don’t think I’ve ever written about one coming out four years after a game’s launch. But this is special. One, it’s D’Avekki, and I have been writing news…
