Default Re: Limited Run Games Thread

i'm going to go on a little rant here..i am really really getting "burnt out" on these "limited releases" of games in small quantities...it's leaning towards shovelware, and the novelty is wearing off..when Retro City Rampage DX was released on PS4 physical, or when Saturday Morning RPG was released on physical..it was exciting, because they were obscure, flew under the radar, hard to comprehend,. that official SONY PS4 games in such small numbers were sanctioned and endorsed by SONY made collecting for PS4 fun, and it was like having an "easter egg" of a game on display in your collection...a conversation piece..and now, these limited games, are going the way of steelbooks, the "buzz" is waning, it's getting diluted..the whole limited press of games is getting diluted as other companies are jumping in, and the "taboo, and mystery" of it is diminishing as the idea of having a physical copy of a game with a small print run, is no longer a pipe dream..at least a majority of PS4 gamers will end up having some game in their library purported to be "rare" whether from limited run, special reserve, play asia, signature edition, iam8bit..i mean the FLOODGATES are opening up!!!!!!!!!!!!...just like STEELBOOK exploded onto the scene, becoming a very common site..diminishing the appeal..i think the appeal to collectors like "rare", "extra special" "ooh ahhh" etc..is gonna become an epic fail, and one day soon..these companies will be SITTING ON EXCESS STOCK..as there releasing A LOT and just like amiibo, just like steelbook, they gonna be languishing on shelves if they keep multiplying and proliferating.
