I wouldn't use the Annapurna collection as a benchmark, considering the $200 price tag.

I maintain that an empty box is not a physical game, its just merch. I have no doubt lots of companies will make merch. LRG may pivot to making collectors editions with DL codes. But thats not a physical game.

I expect physical games to be more or less gone entirely in 2 generations. LRG cant exist if the hardware doesnt have a physical media slot. I do think that compared to movies and music, old games are ported to future hardware at an astonishingly low rate. This will provide a tailwind to demand...

I think this is the more realistic take. I dont think publishers are seeing LRG as a way to outsource physical printing because they can't, it's that they don't want to print physical at all anymore. It's just not worth the hassle. So, if they can do it with no risk and no capital investment...

Strictly limited is the worst because they have taken a difficult choice and make the worst possible decision. The open pre-order model obviously creates very long shipping times, but at least it means you don't have to deal with scalpers and limited stock. you can get what you want. The...

I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on the "slow down" comment. it's reasonable to assume that most of these games going up for preorder have been contracted for a while. Hell, there are even games that have been announced and haven't gone up for preorder. So, if the slow down...

Also, the install size of BG3 is larger than a dual layer Blu Ray I believe. So, it would need to be a multi disc game if you wanted it to be 100% on disc

my outstanding orders: Severed Castlevania Advance Nobody Saves the World Radiant Silvergun Toy Soldiers HD All of them are standard and from the retail store. I have no outstanding web orders. I dont buy digital games. I don't love LRG, but at the end of the day, they provide something I...

give me the SaGa Collection!

Exactly. This stands in contrast to games published by companies like Nintendo, where the digital version is sold at the same MSRP as the physical version.

I feel like people tend to ignore the fact that LRG games are a premium product for a premium price. A physical copy of a game and a digital copy of the game are the same experience. A standard edition LRG game is effectively just the lowest level collector's edition, as you pay a premium for an...

They also chose the spot because its where they live and where the company is headquartered.

my final order for the LRG website has shipped. Now all my orders are from the retail store because I don't pay shipping and only pay $5 upfront. Anyone complaining needs to just move to North Carolina.

Just out of curiosity, I see lots of people complaining about shipping times, but what would you consider reasonable shipping times, assuming they do not move to a product in hand model and continue doing 6 week open preorders?

Its for people like me who will spend $59.99 to have all the doom games in matching red cases on my shelf and never play them
