Maybe a little video like ingame footage videos will be fine before ICO. maybe demo isn't ready in every aspect but seeing a portion of REPU can easily increase sales.
I think REPU team is experienced enough to create a demo video that can attract investor not deter them, i have faith in them. But of course they should be cautious, any misunderstanding can create catastropic results for the project.
Making a demo can lead bad results because it is hard to control a beta. But for demo, i think the risk is minimal. I don't think there would be any problem with it.
I agree with you about controlling a beta phase with all bugs or errors, investors can run away from the project. But a video creates a controlled area, just a footage what can REPU do is fine.
absolutely agreed on this one, I have seen some low quality videos , which they even use a template (not specifically repu other ico). Everyone can create a video like that if you know how to use after effects now
