* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'' on [=PS4=] has a demo ''[[{{InvertedTrope}} penalty]]''. The demo is the first few chapters of the game. If you install the full game after playing the demo, you have the choice of starting a new game or continuing from where you left off. If you choose to continue, you miss all of the trophies from the early game. If you want the trophies, you have to start a new game and replay over ten hours.
** The issue of missing early-game trophies also applies to countless other games on [=PS4=] that have demos/trials outside of PS Plus subscriptions and carry over save progress, but use {{Achievement System}}s in retail versions. Games include ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' and ''VideoGame/WatchDogs2''.

** A similar situation happens with ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonstersTheDarkPrince''. Importing data from the demo will force you to start the game from the beginning, giving you as a bonus a few extra items in your inventory. Also, the monsters that were in your party at the end of the demo are instantly unlocked in the bestiary and you get one exemplar of each when you reach the monster storage for the first time... except that they only share their nicknames with the ones you had in the demo and nothing else, and for some reason they're also missing the second skill tree (the one with the stat boosts).

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' commonly deals with these, starting from the 3rd Generation. Having demo save data awards a small starter pack of common items, typically consumables that would require a minor amount of work to obtain otherwise.
** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld'' had a special campaign where defeating the demo version of Nergigante (a NintendoHard challenge in itself) would reward a set of Nergigante materials in the full game, a far more substantial reward considering it is not possible to fight a Nergigante or make its equipment for a good long while.

* By playing ''VideoGame/CodeNameSteam'''s demo, players start the game with the Phoenix Rifle, a fairly weak gun which has low steam cost and pushback properties. Any coins earned in the demo also carry over into the full game.
