I definitely criticize LRG, and the limited print games market as a whole. I think criticism is health and zealotry or ostrich-esque behavior is dangerous for any topic--big or small. That said... people complaining about things not selling out quick enough hurts my brain. It seems so contradictory to so many of the LRG complaints of the past year or so.
Perhaps there are quite a few people who really only do care about these titles because they're rare. I might be willing to pay an inflated price to get one because I won't have another chance, but I won't choose a game just because it's limited or rare. I think there are a lot of people that do, though, and that's where that sentiment comes from.
Yeah, this in a nut shell^
I really don't care what these games go for, as I never bought a single one with flipping it for profit in mind(at least none of the games I personally wanted). I just wanted to play games when I fell like it, without worrying the game is gone from PSN or otherwise(like my PS Mobile titles). Now seeing prices low, or at retail, just shows the games are getting to those who want them and nothing more. This is supply & demand, as now these sell for less, due to all the knuckleheads who continue to buy these games to flip. To much product, and not enough demand.
After the shit storm that was Wonder Boy & Night Trap last year, both titles got close to retail within a few months. And both titles created tons of bad blood when first offered, only to see the worth tank over time. People react on Fridays that a game sells out, but often more are made available, or if fans just wait, the prices fall.
With the NS preorders, and standard items lasting days to weeks, now this is where no one should be complaining, but surprise, surprise.......here we are with the values not being high enough. Like I told LRG from the start, ignore anyone here who is just complaining from a specific want, as those are the ones who will complain no matter what. If LRG is going to listen to them, they might as well bring in some monkeys to run their operation, as that would make more sense.
