"Limited Run Games" is Producing Physical Copies of Games in Limited Quantities

[kashell]

LRG is teaming up with some Kickstarter for this:

It...doesn't look very good. I've seen other games with spell crafting, just with different names. Eh, we'll see.

I've been buying random LRG releases here and there and will be all in for the Ys: Origin, and Ray Gigant. I bought and platinumed Ray Gigant on PSN, but it will be great to own the physical copy. I already have Ys: Origin pre-ordered through Play-Asai, like a lot of us, but I'll be find with it and the LRG release if I snag them both.

i kinda hate that they dont randomly do "ReRelease" >.> bring back the more popular games they printed as physical copies back.  The ones that are crazy weird amounts of ebays...

Cause their certain games... i really cant get into and is bothering me that their a physical edition and only have Digital copy of it.

Well if they did that, it would pretty much go against their entire aesthetic.  If they just arbitrarily re-released their most popular games, then there would be less demand for their future releases.

I think doing very limited releases would allow them to preserve the integrity of their business model, but still help people out that missed specific titles for one reason or another. For example, releasing an extra 1000 copies of Breach and Clear or Saturday Morning RPG is not going to make the game common or less desired by any means.

I agree, plus some people didnt know about Limited Runs when some of these games came out + it to fight against the Scalpers.... who wants to pay $200+ X.x for a game that was released for $50....

By randomly reprinting some of the games... it would make Scalpers more wary of those that have multiple accounts about buy 20+ copies.  And get the games to actual gamers/collectors not Re sellers.

Awesome! I forget - were there numbers on how many PAX covers there were for Runner2 and if that was included in the total number of copies produced?

[soera]

AFAIR the Pax cover was limited to 1000 copies.
