Limited Run Games (producing physical copies of digital games)

[Aussie2B]

Today LRG is selling Dragon's Lair Trilogy (both standard and CE copies) for Switch, and they're finally selling Tharsis for PS4, after announcing it like a million years ago.

I'm waiting for next Friday myself, when they'll be selling The House in Fata Morgana and London Detective Mysteria. For me, LRG has never had a more exciting day of releases, and I've never been more nervous about the prospect of them selling out before I can get my order in. I've never missed out on anything thus far, so I'm hoping it'll go well.

What's kind of crazy is that, right now, I have no outstanding LRG orders. That was basically unthinkable not that long ago. I guess that's one benefit to Western Vita card production ending and also the end of combining orders. Since all the games are already manufactured, the only thing holding up my orders now is the other components of CEs.

For anyone who still visits the LRG forums, I wouldn't go there right now (especially if at work). Someone completely spammed each topic with pretty gross porn. I'm sure curiosity may get the best of some, but just don't go (especially if BLIXNRIXR was the last to comment on a post...which is every topic).

Yeah, I just discovered that myself this morning. It's nice that LRG didn't totally pull the plug on the forum and passed it off to the regulars, but as far as I know, they only gave mod powers to one person. I don't know if the mod has the ability to make more mods or even ban users. The spammer is definitely taking advantage of the power vacuum going on over there.

It's too bad too, because I get a lot of my info there. I mean, I could technically still go there, but I think once is enough for seeing that image. I'm good until it gets cleaned up.

I'm going to switch the topic quickly here and just say that I got my Jak 3 standard, Lumines Remastered standard for Switch, AND....My PS4 Curse of the Moon Collectors edition within' the past couple weeks. I honestly believe that the changes that LRG have made to their business have worked for the better. My games are getting shipped in a timely fashion, I like the new web design, and they have really had a little something for everyone as far as titles and genres go. The only change that I wish wasn't made was keeping the stock % listed. Even thats not a big deal and I can see why they changed it.

I still haven't gotten around to trying LRG. Ys Origin would've been nice, but it's on Steam and has Asian releases if I need it.

I've been buying from them for awhile. There can be some annoyances like long wait times for shipping, and some folks don't like the stress of having to buy right when a title goes on sale. There have been some other things here and there mostly for intl buyers. At the end of the day, if you successfully purchase the game you want, it will make its way to your mailbox. Also a lot of titles have maintain value pretty well, so you know you won't be spending $60 on a game and go to sell it 4 months later for $15. While you won't always be able to MAKE money off the titles, I haven't seen any values completely tank to sub $10 values (unless someone can show me otherwise).

Lowest I've seen them drop is sub $20. I've been selling off some of their PS4 games I bought years ago, and I've been having trouble getting some to move at a price point where I'd break even (so, the cost I paid for the game + plus the shipping LRG charged me + eBay and PayPal fees + the cost for me to mail them off to a buyer). But I'm in no hurry to sell, so I can just as well hold on to them and see if the values increase later on.
