Except the latter is impossible because that was a sense of freshness that resulted from having a less developed brain at the time. People chasing nostalgia are chasing ghosts.

You just reminded me that there could be a third scenario in all of this, the market for physical releases for indie titles doesn't survive a recession. Let's say what you posit is true, which is there's a core buyer market of let's say 10-15K people (making that up for this scenario) that...

I wouldn't extrapolate the thought of "it hasn't happened yet so it will never happen in the future" too far into the future. LRG was "founded' in 2015, so basically a company so young it hasn't even gone through a recessionary cycle yet. Well, we're either going through one right now or will be...

Vast majority of company founders are not visionaries. Even some of the CEOs that eventually expanded their companies into large multi-nationals were actually perfectly fine with operating at a small-scale for even a decade. As an example, Nike was founded by Phil Knight originally as just an...

You're just describing what they do right now, which what I'm pointing out is it's not a sustainable business model for limited print companies long-term as they're already reaching very deep into the shovelware bucket. LRG having a normal distro line is already a symptom of this transition. LRG...

LRG and the other limited print companies are going to have to go back on their "no reprint" principles at some point if they care about revenue growth, which they obviously do. And there's lots of ways to do it too, new cover art, new CE merch, new print release category branding, etc. The...

The RE4 CE was always around 9 pounds on the Gamestop listing.

You got lucky because no self-respecting product manager or software engineer would work for Gamestop, unless they had little to no options, so Gamestop can’t execute itself out of a paper bag. These days, there’s so much behavior data available, it’s incredibly easy to forecast the lifetime...

Nobody will be able to guess how Amazon bans customers. Like all retailers, your entire order history is stored in relational databases that can be cross-referenced to inventory costs, item categories, anything you can imagine. When corporations reach Amazon scale, so to speak, there are...

Lol, you people make code sound like it’s the secret formula for coke or something. Code is modified all the time and unless a company has perfect versioning, it becomes more difficult to revert the more changes are made to it especially if the devs were lax in their documentation which these...

Yup, it’s definitely over unless you make it your job to monitor US retail sites over the next few days. I got one on Shopto in the UK with a mail forwarder and Shopto tells you how many people are browsing and it was in the mid-thousands as soon as their Twitter account announced it. The...

You should examine the definitions for “unprovoked” and “no reason” and see if you have the self-awareness to tie it back your own actions lol. If you make illogical statements brimming with asinine confidence, don’t expect people to treat you with kid gloves on.

Hahaha, I didn’t expect that guy to offer to show his W-2. That is too funny and also a window into the level of insecurity. It’s really too bad there aren’t “one-click” options online where you can set up legally-enforceable bets. I would so do it to make some easy money but this guy would...
