these releases are GD stressful...
Yup. Got the email an hour ago.
Unfortunately I just woke up to see Rainbow Moon already sold out.
Wish they sent the email the day before.
I really don't like the way they do this.
I want legit physical releases that I don't have to fight for and be in the "right place right time with a pinch of luck".
Let me know if you want me to snag you a copy this afternoon. I got an extra copy of Shadow Complex, too, if that's of interest to anyone.
For the love of god there was a second round and I missed that too!?
I'm out.
The second round was tiny, you'd have had to be really lucky to get something as I'd imagine there were a lot of people waiting.
Yeah, I want real releases.
It was my first go at using them, and despite getting all three, I still ended up frustrating. Not a fan of the system.
The whole 'limited run' is nonsense. I get that it works in one way; I mean people, including some on this site will buy even a trash game just because it appears exclusive and collectible. So for games like Breach & Clear, it actually means they sell, sure if that got a larger run, I'd imagine it'd be lucky to sell a couple hundred copies as no one would care until they see it for $3 in a bargain bin.
However some of the games like Odd World, Shadow Complex etc. deserve big runs; and should be handled like how the Vita release of Shovel Knight has been.
