Reader Discussion: How Often Do You Buy Games After Free Trials?

This past year we've seen many prominent games like Overwatch, FIFA 17, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Rainbow Six: Siege, The Division, and Madden NFL 17 offer free trial weekends to bring new players into the mix with the established communities that play these games on a daily basis. These trials are great opportunities to get your feet wet and decide whether you like a game enough to buy it, and many of them even preserve your progress.
So our question to you is how often do these trial periods result in an actual purchase? Do you sometimes play enough to feel satiated, or do most of the games leave you wanting more? Share you thoughts in our comments section and tell us which games convinced you to splurge.
