Unfortunately, in publicly-traded companies there's a lot of pressure to accept the lowest bid because as they say "the line must go up." Short-term gains over long-term strategy; enshittification is real. It probably helps that they can offload any criticism to LRG - kinda like how musicians can just blame Ticketmaster for high prices.

Man, Doug just letting it all out. I honestly never considered that but it makes sense, why do something yourself when you can outsource it for less...

When they started doing star wars games and ps2 on ps4 games is when I was basically done with them

Meanwhile you got Josh constantly saying "these games would never get published physically if it wasn't for us, blah, blah, blah", when their own publishing departments were apparently pushing for physical retail releases.

It's never going to end...

Timeless collection.

The problem with LRG producing meme content otherwise is that it takes too long to ship. The jokes dead by the time they get involved and products are in customers hand.

My BS detector registered pretty high with LRG from the start. Immediate vibe of hungry wannabe big guys, riding a wave of support the little guy narrative; to better and more permanently secure their already privileged position, at the expense of the little and middle guy. The expense to everyone in this case being the acceptance of a much shittier physical buying experience, that no one asked for, in the guise of this is necessary to support small Indy titles. Its LRG and Josh’s private game collection that seems to have thrived, not indie developers. The bigger and more successful the wolves posing as shepards become, the more they can drop the facade, is where we unfortunately seem to be at now. Basically the modern American success story since Apple changed the paradigm.
