This is an idea that was brought up over at Pastapadre.
Use Share Play as a demo?

This is the one feature that I am jealous of PS4 owners.

I just don't see how Developers can be okay with this.

Also, do people really let other people beat parts of games for them? Lame!

If I was a game developer I would make sure to find a way to disable that feature for my game.

Cautiously optimistic about this due to latency concerns.

It's also at least a couple months out at best... the ps4 2.0 update is coming 'this fall'

Why? It's free advertising. It's just extending showing off a cool game to a friend to over the internet. If anything it's going to improve sales.

It's fascinating to watch the competition between xbone and ps4. In our Madden scenario, you wouldn't get to try a game early for a fee like xbone, but you can try the game later for free on PS4 with a buddy. Competition is the American way, unlike the monopoly that is Madden currently.

The best parts of this patch (shareplay, youtube) actually represent them finishing the rollout of the features that had to be cut for the console's launch.

Somehow pivoting that into the fallacy of Madden being a monopoly is a good way to earn a pink name though.

Edit: hmm. post on GAF suggesting share play is limited to 60 minutes.
