The Dummy Finger In Resident Evil 7's Demo Is Useless

In an email That Capcom sent to Resident Evil fans who had joined the series' Ambassador Program, Capcom addressed the served finger that you find in the demo. The message  at the bottom reads, About a certain 'finger'..." displaying a picture of a dummy finger besides a note that says "The path is closed, but patience..”. This basically confirms the the finger is useless in the demo. Users on social media have started speculating the message is on top of a calendar for September, which is the month Tokyo Game Show takes place. So it’s likely that Capcom will talk more about Resident Evil 7 then, others have also speculated that this is only part 1 of the demo. Guess we’l have to wait till TGS to find out. What do you think ?
