that last part is what gets me the most. early on it was implied that these games are only available through us here or occasionally a convention. that implication is still in place and i think its kinda shitty they haven't communicated it on a broader lever to the world that some of these games you can go down and pick up at X Store or X partner web site. They are even numbered releases, i can go down and get Scott Pilgrim for PS4 at bestbuy right now, its just sitting there, probably for less than what i paid. The one that pisses me off the most was the preorder for Metal Wolf Chaos XD for PS4, i pre ordered it the hour it was available to. It took forever to come out, so long in fact that a version of the game came out at GAMESTOP before i ever got the pre order from LRG.
my most recent game Roombo First Blood didnt take so long but long enough to have forgotten about it until i get an email thats is about to ship. The email said to update your shipping addresses before a certain time. Normally not a problem, great i can do that... except that time was 4 hours after the time i got the email and i was driving long distance and couldnt just stop and update my shipping address. i feel its a notification that should've been about 48 hours before the deadline to update the address.
In the end i feel they prey on the fact they gained this rep of exclusive games only available through their means but in the end, at least lately it might have not always been this way, most of them will end up in stores any way.
