Idk, it's not that easy. Printing copies requires money, and a lot of those games wouldn't get the Benjamins to have a wide release. People tend to wait for price drops, sales and stuff like that for retail releases. Some kind of balance would need to be achieved.
Why not just order another run after selling out of the first? Identical too. None of that second edition or whatever sh*t.
Otherwise it's clear that the intended profit was set in stone and there would be no reason to take offense to piracy.

The second print of Soldner took like a year to sell out, which is fine, but it's also used by some to back the argument that limited is what sells.
It all depends on the game, I guess. Wonderboy has been selling well in any of his prints or formats.
So it's less about the games and more about letting people jerk themselves off over knowing they have one of the few copies out there? Lol
Reminds me of that Mario Twins flash video. "Yeah you like that, idiot! I got it, you don't!"
And making money onjunkgreat games.
Yeah, that's right. If it weren't for the limited factor, I can assure you that LoPpy wouldn't have the 20 copies of Octodad he has.
That's on par with ticket scalping.
Octodad is their best release obvs.

Plague Road > Mecho Tales > Octodad >>>>>> Shantae, Wonderboy and Ys

Just one trophy left? Might as well.
