ARGGGHHHHH NO MOAR DEMOZ!
Well, I don't think it'll be the end of demos. Considering there isn't a TON of F2P games out there on the market; but there is quite a few. I suppose you could consider the beta of these games to be 'exclusive demos'.
With the uprising popularity of F2P games I could definitely see demos becoming more and more extinct.

I think there will be always "pay once, play forever" games, and this kind of game requires a demo. So... I don't think it will extinct completely.

True.
Pay once play forever games will probably be around for a long time coming.

i dont think much will change in the big titles but almost all subscription fees may go away for games that require them
because bow ties are cool

Naw. Browski, the subscription model has its place and you know it. Eve is an example.
