Limited Run Games - physical runs of digital games

I mean, the company wasn't supposed to be known as "That company that disappeared shortly after a game release".

Is anyone else noticing the irony of a company called limited run games, and they are releasing game no 131. Sure its across two consoles, and most are doubles, but thats bigger than some entire consoles library. How limited can you really be in that case. I think ultimately that is going to kill any value to the games in general. You already see that most of the releases are worthless, and only a handful of titles like Breach and Clear hold any value.

At this point I gave up caring about LRG as limited releases, and just pick up the anime/jrpg style games that might not get releases otherwise. Although with Wonderboy just being released and in major stores like bestbuy, even that aspect is suspect.

Like Best said, its really the quantity of each.

I personally always liked LRG idea simply so we could keep getting physical games. Things have been trending to digital for years and I just liked that companies wanted to preserve physical releases regardless of their quantity.

The only people that can complain are ones that thought theyd collect an entire set of LRG. For everyone else there is zero harm in having tons more physical releases.

Im personally waiting for them to open their console supply website with the repro Sega Saturn US cases they said were coming in March.

I totally agree there. I might sometimes complain about stuff that isn't quite for me, but it's just great that they're doing this work. I've bought "bad" games like Octodad, Thomas Was Alone, Asdivine Hearts, and such and I'm perfectly happy with them.

[Tubsiwub]

I complain due to the price on some.

I usually need to wait before buying a full-price game, but they give me a week's notice on something I won't want.

For all of you LRG buyers, I recommend reading at least the first page of this thread: http://www.mightyrabbitstudios.com/l...php?f=2&t=4089

Doubt I need comment. I'm sure y'all know what I'll say. But

BULLSH!T


Also I called it already saying Switch would be +$15. I didn't quite expect it on PS4/vita though they have been pushing it.

June is looking like where the slow down should finally hit.

I'll bet that it won't.


I stopped reading further down. Any commen sense is ignored like it always is.
I'll need to get into ZEN mode and decide what I'm doing. Likely gonna cut off somewhere.



*This'll end up causing even smaller runs and maybe even the beginning of the end.

I'll see what I do tomorrow but really considering just going Vita only for most now on. 6+ things to buy weekly is absurd.

[Best1989]

Well, I'll be skipping tomorrow. I'm trying to save some moneyz, and tomorrow's titles are not essentials for me.

Idk if I should shoot for the VR line, although I will probably skip next week title too.

Thimbleweed Park is tempting, though.

Did some maths and planning, pretty much gonna skip everything tomorrow.

I find it kind of funny that the only reason LRG was originally profitable is because they were able to skirt the ESRB. Now that they became popular and ESRB wants those fees it may destroy (or at least heavily impact) the market on the Vita side.

Not really. Its not only about the number for individual releases. Trust me, my brother is hard core book collector (And yes I realize the implications of the Krownklown saying trust me). They have various companies put out first run first edition signed books, they are worthless. And Im talking about nice editions and from famous authors. These "mass produced limited edition" never hold the value of an individual rarity. You see the same thing in Art with "limited prints". Basically in any collectors market dregs like LRG spawn to make a quick buck, and in the long run their products aren't worth nearly as much as legitimate rarity. LRG is essentially corroding its own brand and becoming a joke. Its not longer putting out a handful or rarities like Gaijinworks. Its now spits out a couple of thousand copies of whatever pixelated garbage it can get its hand ons and moves on to the next one.

Pretty much like I said the only thing I still go to them for is the occasional anime/rpg game, and even then they try to rob you by charging 50 bucks for a vita game.
