I’ve never had an account… not sure what weirdness you experienced but I’ve never once been pestered or asked for a login. Infact, the only thing I get is the ‘lets finish setting up windows’ full screen trash, which is just a window and I can alt-f4 to close. It’s been years like that.
I call em full version demos. Specifically because I buy when it’s good. The 2 hour steam thing sometimes, just isn’t enough to really know. It usually is tho.
