Limited Run Games (producing physical copies of digital games)

Strictly Limited Games started selling games a little while ago, and they're selling their first Vita game today. These are technically Euro region releases, though there is no PEGI rating on the case.

I regret not bieng able to get 99 Vidas for Vita. Granted, I can still get the PS4 version, but I think I will let it pass. Maybe one day...

Aussie, was your lost package the ones containing SteamWorld? Because the ones Victor gave me money for were MIA as well. I had to do a package search/investigation with USPS and "miraculously" it was found. Got it today.

I loathe UPS Innovations...

[Aussie2B]

Yep, it was my copies of SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist. The original package was lost in the ether for all I can tell. I've got my replacements now as well as a new slipcover for my Mecho Tales, and the day after I got those, my Windjammers LE and Claire arrived safe and sound too. No luck in getting the rare pink variant frisbee, though, haha.

The latest LRG silliness: Factotum 90.

So the "bonus edition" is just the SAME GAME with a soundtrack and some paraphernalia. All separate items.

Wow, just wow.

[Aussie2B]

They can call it a "bonus edition" all they want, but as far as I see it, it's no different from when they'd sell a regular bundle of a game and soundtrack. I'm just glad they backed out of two totally separate covers and having one exclusive to the more expensive set. They're finally listening to people fed up with all the variant nonsense, so now the Factotum cover is reversible. They're still doing the whole manufacture some with one side facing out and others with the other side facing out, to make sealed collectors double dip, but at least you can get either side by buying either version of the game, and sealed collectors can buy two of the standard edition to get one of each, rather than being forced to get the OST and other bonus items whether they want those or not.

The one thing I find a little perplexing is why they're doing all this extra stuff for a game like Factotum to begin with. It doesn't seem like there's much hype for it at all. Same with Home. It seems like this coming Friday is just another day where they're trying to clear out their backlog of games that they probably would never sign at this point but are stuck releasing due to contracts signed when they were taking just about anything. I hear people are complaining about the price points too, though I don't have a problem there since I know nothing from LRG is gonna be lower than $25. But I have also heard that Home is super short, like 1-2 hours short, and for a game that seems fairly linear and story-based, I imagine there isn't much incentive to replay repeatedly. So I can understand why even the lowest price point of $25 may still seem too high for that.

Weren't Factotum and Home announced on the list they released this past E3? I honestly still believe they're signing anything they can get, but that's just me.

On the plus side, there's only a finite amount of games, so with every five or 10 playable games, we're bound to get an Ys Origin, Furi, etc.

[Aussie2B]

Factotum was announced then. I could've sworn Home was announced earlier, but maybe my memory is faulty.

There's no question that they're passing on releases. They even cancelled some planned but unannounced releases and pointed the developers to LRG's competitors. 99Vidas was one where the developer approached LRG and LRG turned them down and suggested Strictly Limited Games.
