Remember the time when we had demoes that we could test before commiting to a buy? We should come back to that. Arguably Steam's return policy could be used as a demo although it only gives access to the beginning of the game and the plethora of cinematics and tutorials, and does not focus on a core part of the gameplay.

Steam's recent update to carve out a category for demo's is kinda what you are asking for. At least it is in the right direction, if devs follow it.
