@roadrunner343 But they've said each has sold 4,000 copies already and yet they've knocked the print run for this bad game down to 3,000 copies. They claim they don't care about selling out but clearly they do, otherwise this would have been 5,000 copies like the last two games. They made a decision here to cater to the scalpers and do a really low print run so they could prey on compulsive collectors and force them to buy a pretty objectively bad game that they're pawning off as "critically acclaimed". Since when is a 63 on Metacritic critically acclaimed?
No thanks Super Scalper Games! I'm not going to buy bad games just because they are limited! We should stand up to this practice as consumers and stop feeding companies that thrive by preying on compulsive collectors.
@Grandpa_Pixel But why not just do what Limited Run Games does and take preorders? Limited Run makes sure ALL the fans who want a game can get it and there is no risk they get buried under stock no one wants!
