And it is not like an auction where you could have a proxy bidder - you would need the order form in order to fill it out. I did email them asking what was up.

Tabonga | 2,323 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 They took most of the listings off (except for the collection) and moved the date to July 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange | 1,700 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Besides the stuff already mentioned, which I’m excited for quite a few, Demon’s Turf looks very cool. I’ll be keeping an eye on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got an email from them that included this: If you saw 'TEST' listings on the site, this does not mean we are on sale. Please refrain from purchasing through test listings as we need to use them to get the site running again. SteamWorld will not be on sale until next Thursday. Anyone that previously managed to successfully place an order during the site problems or tests will have their order honoured. This is subject to our standard '2 of each game per person' limit.

Jicsan | 589 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Here's the first episode of LRG's 'retrospectives' by Jeremy Parish. I'll probably keep watching these, but man this game lost my attention quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably keep watching these, but man this game lost my attention quick. I'll have to watch this later, but as someone who has sat through literally all 120+ of his Game Boy Works videos, Parish is very good even when he's covering even highly mediocre games. With that said, as a Limited Run employee he's basically doing in-house PR work for a retail outlet, so I'm interested to see if and how it impacts his coverage over time.

I think SRG has gotten famous enough that their games sell out so quickly, that it's simply more profitable for them to have an open-order model, and that's great for us that play these games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,915 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Curious, has anyone here ordered a copy of realMyst for Switch and received it? I'm seeing them pop up on eBay, and I've not received mine. Also, if you pre-order multiple games, do they hold your items until they are all fulfilled to ship them together? I asked because I also picked up Panzer Dragoon in the same purchase, which is still in production processing. There's a fair chance we are moving in mid-August or so. I know the PO will forward mail but... I don't trust them I'd sure hate to lose my first order from LRG. Edited July 16, 2020 by RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email LRG and give them your new address they will update it for you. Edited July 15, 2020 by Mr. CIB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
