Pretty much exactly that. Risk of Rain didn't sell out immediately but did sell out in a few days, and that's fine. It's nice that people who wanted it got a decent order window, and that LRG...

Oh, me neither! It's a good business decision, and if everything works out it should cover the cost of the booth space at a convention, raising awareness while also helping to subsidize the costs of...
Not Runner 2 but rather other games that were available at the booth in good-sized piles. There were a bunch of games available to just walk up and purchase, some of which (I think?) were ones sold...
Sensible practice, too. I've been waiting for a backlash on selling that stock at places like PAX East, but so far either nobody's noticed or maybe, if we're really lucky, nobody cares.
Wow! at the PS4 numbering lately.
24 Runner 2
26 Pang Adventures
28 Mitsurugi
29 Astebreed
34 Flint Hook
25 and 27 are probably DariusBurst and Nova-111, but 30-33?
I'm sorry but that's honestly not right-

Not sure how long the PS4...
Not much of a rival, honestly. You probably could have cleared 5K Strafe on PS4 in a day, rather than 2000 pre-order in however long it's taking them.
Strafe is legitimately excellent. The art style is a lot of fun in motion and the 90s-style shooting feels great. It's randomly-generated, sure, but the levels are built built from hand-designed...
The collector in me, who I've really got to get under control, couldn't let the Special Reserve Games version of Strafe (available here) go on by. I've already got the PC version and love it to...
I was always kind of amazed at how much Nothing there was behind the furor over Night Trap. It felt tame at the time, especially when compared to the movies it was influenced by, but still caused so...
24 days to go on the Kickstarter. I'm thinking this won't be one where the rarity of the Kickstarter-exclusive cover matters too much. Plague Road's Kickstarter cover is going to be super-scarce...
I've got to admit to not getting how Dear Esther is important. Most games I can see why people like them, but Dear Esther just bounced off me hard. Since then Chinese Room has done Amnesia: A...
The thing I posted is literally what the current conversation is about.
I'm pretty sure that sitting on the sidelines judging while someone else makes the decisions that determine whether they stay in business or not is really easy.
I'd hate to try to estimate the print run of DariusBurst. I'm thinking 7,500 but at $60 that's a tough one, and if the game had been able to be released at $25-$30 it might have been able to do...
The Swapper is excellent, I'll happily buy that one. Played it beginning to end in maybe three sittings and really enjoyed its puzzles.
Speaking as someone who works the paying job in customer service, I'd recommend a slightly more flexible approach. Initial push-back is fine, especially on those last two excuses, but the first two...
Shrink-wrap, but my disk was loose (only the second time it's happened) so I just tore it off and fixed things internally. I was probably going to anyway because I wanted to see the map, so it was...
Nah, good plan. Even if all you do is flip the game a few days after the standard release, when everyone realizes they missed the exclusive cover, you'll come out ahead. At the moment I'm thinking...
LRG is doing a waiting list as they clear out the dupes and scammers, so you might want to check out this tweet and wave your hand for a copy. No promises, but it's worth trying. Also, Firewatch...
I'm just glad it's not a PS4 version. I've gotten all the LRG games so far and, while I know the streak will break, I wouldn't mind seeing it go on for a while longer.
It may be a lot of copies for today, but check back in a year or two and see how they go. A lot of speculation is based on instant turn-over but that's not how collecting works. It's more of a...
I'm pretty happy with my full-box copies of System Shock 2, No One Lives Forever, and some other odds and ends, plus Indiebox versions of Nuclear Throne, Axiom Verge, and Freedom Planet. Rive is...
PC vs Console vs That Other Console vs Handheld is quite possibly the dumbest argument I've seen in all of gaming. If you like gaming, you like gaming. The rest is just tools, or flavors. ...
What game did LRG release that Signature is re-publishing? Aragami, Super Meat Boy, and Slain are all first time around from this company. Is there a fourth I haven't seen?
