    Man, I knew LRG was a mixed bag, but jeez. Yeah, they've got a few home runs like Arzette and (hopefully) Gex Trilogy. But between the employee fired for clashing political views and now this, it really is a pity.

      That is why I decided to never buy from them. The agitators were also mad that she followed Libs of Tik Tok. Not anything she tweeted, just who she followed.

    Stopped buying from them when it took 2 years to deliver a game that they estimated would deliver in like 6 months.

    Would it be a bad idea to start a new company that does pressed licensed repros of CD based games both rerelease and homebrew as well as replicating wobbles on systems like the PS1, Saturn, Gamecube, and PS2?

    Yikes!! I've put music albums out on CD-R before, but the $2.00 price reflected the quality of the music and then"pressing"

      I've got both Intellivision DJC albums (one of the protos, one of the productions)... i never opened them yet, hope it wasn't a cheapo CD-R... with the way DJC is, its probably a flamingo turd inside. I hoping there will be a volume 2.

    This may be some kind of slightly underhanded budget cut tactic on LRG's part for games that don't get sufficient pre-order numbers prior to cut-off dates. They may not set out to use CD-Rs initially, but if there are only a couple hundred orders for a given game, the sales revenue won't be enough to afford proper disc pressing (you have to remember that pressed discs are now a luxury and an "inconvenience" for all modern media, so they're actually more expensive to produce nowadays than they were thirty years ago). Still, this is the kinda thing where transparency on the publisher's part can be tricky, but they could probably put a little more effort into properly disclosing the fact that customers are getting glorified bootlegs...

      ​@@SomeOrangeCat Come on, we all know what it means. The one thing we have in common on both sides that we're sick of hearing about it. Considering all the ideology does is further divide people and is woefully unprofitable in a commercial sense, perhaps none of us will have to put up with it for much longer.
