I recognize LRG releases are "collectible" and need to be sealed in most cases, so does it matter if they put a CD of Spice Girls in the case?
    That's the problem. LRG takes advantage of the fact that many people won't open the games, so they think no one will notice when they pull stuff like this. Nobody who received these CD-Rs knew they would be getting a CD-R. There are people who open and play LRG's releases and people who value having an "official", legal release. (I use quotes because LRG's rereleases of old games aren't licensed by the hardware manufacturers, but they are made with the involvement of the game's publisher.) In the case of Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, LRG's release was cheaper than buying the original secondhand these days.

    I have some affected Warner DVDs. I have the full Animaniacs set, was wondering why some discs were bad. The Goonies must've been an affected print (opened a sealed copy I've for a long time and hadn't gotten to watching), my local library has a copy of a different print run that still played. That Vacation/European Vacation was unfortunate, on my copy the side with the former was affected but the second was still readable. I have A Pup Named Scooby Doo bad as well.

    I do not care what some insane person thinks about another insane person. What reason would he have to play "Inspector Butters" on what crap she was talking about. Everybody loves the "Harry Potter" game even people like me who do not care about the series at all. Saying there are no LGBT characters in a series is stupid, when we grew up loving series that literally discriminated in secrecy like "Startrek".
    Anyhows we get this nonsense because LRG have to sell out to a big-wig company bowing to the insanity of micro-agressions. AKA loss of freedom of speech
