Yep, that was pretty much a not our fucking problem tweet which I'm not at all surprised at. I bought both CE and the regular edition to eventually get through and now they are both worthless and probably cannot even resell if I wanted to.

Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
- Thread starter GodzillaDB
- Start date
Agree, That is so unprofessional thing to say, If that's the case, Everyone can open a publishing business and publish they're own game even if it's full of bugs, People keep buying their shit because they have some trust on them. like they should be doing some QA/QC for god's sake.
At very least they communicate with the developer before heading to Twitter.
Definitely not his best moment, let's just say that, specially when they advertised that the Vita port was only developed because the developer could justify the cost with the physical run.
He's not wrong per say, but people will start to think that LRG doesn't care to help solve the problem, since they have direct contact with the dev team, because they already made their money. This is definitely not a good look for the company. The LRG name is on the product so people will look to them first for answers. They may not be legally obligated to help out, but it's in their best interest to help get a handle on the situation, since it seems to be widespread.
I'm speechless, you're spot on. If not for people opening their copies and playing them, we'd never know (or at least I wouldn't, as I'm keeping them all sealed).
It's a bad look for LRG, and a poor response from Josh. How does not being able to finish the game 'slip through the cracks'?
Especially such a short and easy one to bug test? :/
I'm guessing this means they're less likely to publish games that haven't already been out digitally for a while in the future.
Hey woah I plan on opening mine, just chopping away at this backlog first ;)
Of course, but that's why you expect them to not have game breaking bugs since you're willing to fork out a lot more money than you have to just to be able to put it in your shelf.
I think Josh's replies weren't the best from a PR perspective, but I do agree that the dev should have done a better job testing it and that as the publisher you should be able to expect them to not hand you the master of a broken game. It's a similar scenario to what happened with Red Art Games and the Vita version of A Bard's Tale. It makes you wonder how much the developers care about their own products.

I don't believe loss rates were higher than regular order fulfillment. Any negative guff the past service got was due packages taking longer to ship out (this should obvious and understood from the get go), any people overly paying attention to their order and freaking out (which is natural because it's huge).
Yeah, I never had any problem with the old hold system because I was a "ship it and don't worry about when it gets here" kind of guy. Nothing ever missing from my hold orders and everything always got here without damage. Then again, my orders didn't need to cross an ocean.
Regarding Night Trap, the dev is aware and has already fixed it. They are just waiting to get through submission for the patch.
Sorry for the delay.
Sorry for the delay.
I was always hearing of issues with big overseas hold orders including them going missing, or the wrong items included.
You quoted Shizuka who is right to be wary due to his issues in the past.
Good.
And yet the Dev's twitter makes no mention of it. If he had already fixed it and posted about it, there'd be no one freaking out.
Seems like he would have beaten everyone to the punch before they had to find out themselves by playing the game.
I still get anxious everytime I get a shipment notification of more than one game in a single order.
The developer has been dealing with some personal issues that are private and it's why they've been absent from social media.
By the way, all my games from last year are listed as either "shipping has finished" or straight up removed from the production updates page, but I've received no tracking code whatsoever. What's the deal there? I've been promised that they'd be shipping those orders, but they're now shipping games from February and I'm still waiting for my games from 2018.
West of Loathing and Another World (Vita) FINALLY being shipped.
By comparison, just got my beautiful Dragon's Lair box. I hope Brain Dead 13 or Time Gal gets this treatment one day.

It's a VERY nice set, and I'm glad that I got the LE. Time Gal I actually just picked up a week ago at a decent price (with the box in not TOO badly of shape). The cover sure is ugly, so I would love to see that remaster one day and have a nice set put out.
I'm still not sure what I have to do with my held orders pre-2019. I now have 20 unfulfilled orders since may 2018. One held order I wanted to release in august but it seems to be still held up by PixelJunk Monsters 2. Do I have to release everything after that to the end of 2018 manually? I could use the new held order form but I release don't want to pay a fee for every order again.
I'm still waiting on quite a lot of my orders to be sent out too, as far as I can tell most older held orders are still yet to be sent out but their plan is still to send them once they get delivery of everything from their warehouse. I did ask in one of my tickets with them but they didn't answer (I was asking a few questions so I guess they just missed it). I'm hoping they're sent out soon though, I had an order in December that was missing a game that shows as sent on my order history but not in the dispatch email, was told it must have just missed the delivery for it but it would come with the next batch so I'm hoping that's definitely what happens.
I'd say a fair chance.
I'm more wondering what the chances of Phoenix Wright are... You know, the game that clearly no one in the west would buy physically :/
I'll take both :x Never needs to be an either-or when it comes to begging for localizations/physical copies.
Considering the price you can get them for on import sites, I don't really see why they should bother. You aren't getting them any cheaper through LRG and it's already in English.

I've heard this a lot, and LRG has released games that have been in english elsewheren before, but not everyone likes importing. Vita is on it's wsy out, so it's not like this would "take away" from other releases, so why not?
