My best friend does this with games. He doesn't keep the pirated copy of games he doesn't like. Just plays to see and then deleted it if he doesn't want it. Buys it if he does. Back when we grew up they had demos for this purpose. But not anymore unless you happen to sign up for an alpha or beta program. Most big studios don't do it.
