Limited Run Games (producing physical copies of digital games)

[megasdkirby]

Not only small print runs, but the asinine "two copies per customer", EVEN on LE/CE copies! Just take a look at the limited editions of DD4 and Rivercity...1,900 copies and TWO per customer. LRG should only allow, at first, one copy per customer. If the game does not sell in 24 hours, then remove the limitation. As it stands, basically 800 people have a shot at the LE version, as many will purchase two to scalp the second copy.

It seems to be their response to their CEs selling slower lately. Instead of being like "our standard copies are selling faster because customers are concluding that LRG CEs are overpriced for what they offer and not worth it" and trying to do something about that, they seem to think the solution is to court scalpers and collectors who feel they have to have one CE sealed and one CE open. But I think they're foolish if they believe scalpers can offset the people passing on their CEs because of their mediocre quality, considering, more than ever, LRG games, even the CEs, sell for around the same on eBay as from LRG, sometimes even less.

Double Dragon IV sold out fast!

SteamWorld Dig for Vita, SteamWorld Heist for Vita, and what remains of the PSX cover variant of Nex Machina for PS4 have been put up for sale today.

It's nice to see a return to the basics. Though a double pack like the other physical SteamWorld releases would've been nicer, at least each was only $25, no overpriced CEs, and, hallelujah, they're listening to feedback about all the cover variant insanity. For the first time ever, I believe, a game with a reversible cover from LRG has ALL copies with the same side facing out, so sealed collectors don't feel like they have to order two copies.

are there gonna be any more releases this year? I plan to come home for the holidays and don't want to miss something.

Nope, they're done for the month. January and February are supposed to be pretty packed, though.

Great, just great. They don't understand the term "spacing things out". Ugh.
