Vita's been dead for a long time. I haven't seen a new system on store shelves in over 2 years.
That's not what makes a system dead.

Remember "maybe our Vita game didn't sell out immediately because everyone's already Switched" a few months ago (or something to that effect?)
Seems like a repeat of that
I mean, give me something good to play on it and I will. It's just that the good Vita games have dried up or have significantly better versions on PS4 or Switch. I didn't buy bad PS3 ports in 2014 either when its successor had launched. I'm not into visual novels or anime girls either.
Why shed my love for the Vita? It has no gaems. I'm sick of the bad ports and inferior versions. I've played the good Vita games and the future looks empty. The Switch takes care of my portable needs and I have other devices for home use. I can play better games on other consoles and I can play Vita games better on them too.
I can totally understand those who are hardcore collectors for it or have needs for trophies/Sony/better portability sticking around but that's not me.
Fair enough and I get it. Vita doesn't get a lot of support these days, and what little support it gets is drying up or doesn't appeal to some users. Switch does for you what Vita can't. I get it and that's fine.

Their Vita releases keep selling out, don't they? Seems like they just want to justify dropping some releases and putting the blame on "the users"

Definitely slowed down compared to what it used to be in the beginning. Vita was always selling faster and a bit more than PS4. Now it's the other way around. But yeah, it still appears like they are selling out most of the time.
Same. Canadian here.

Oooh I thought the LE wasn't entering manufacturing for a while still. Mine still hasn't shipped though. =(
Did it actually ship? I got a notice 15 days ago now and it still hasn't moved beyond the label being printed.
Every time.
I checked the tracking number after 24 hours and it said shipping label created. So not out of the woods yet.
I assume that they're printing the shipping labels all at once and and sending them out as a big bundle to everyone.
That's quite the accusation. They've already officially stated several times that they have no plans to drop Vita until they run out of possible titles to put out.
This is just due to the overwhelming praise and fandom of Switch, with tons of port-begging, every new game that gets released on other consoles etc. Much more Switch talk than Vita online now, basically. Not sure where you make the assumption of it being a business decision, it's just a personal opinion :/

Sorry if it came out that way, I just find it a weird statement when their releases keep selling out in minutes. Some older releases like one way heroics actually took longer I think.

Has anyone's Lawbreakers CE shipped yet?
New game announcement coming in a few mins:

did they really not fix that? isn't the whole god damn point of spending $15 on shipping so that we don't get hit with customs charges?

Guess I'll be skipping next week for sure.
Nope. If I remember correctly, Shizuka had to pay $170 in custom charges

Did they mention if Chariot includes the DLC?

Shizuka is in Brazil. Taxes for foreign electronics there are ridiculous and a $15 shipping fee would likely not cover it. Look at the crazy calculations here. The country itself may not even have an easy way to deal with prepaid customs in the first place -- though that's speculation on my part.
I don't think anyone else is having issues with customs. Even I, which had one order out of like twenty, get stuck once due to Assendia's incompetence when they came into the scene got that sorted out eventually and, since then, they have been doing things properly. And my country's customs are a nightmare to deal with and corrupt as hell.

Argh ! I just came back from a travel to the US where I bought Indiebox's Chariot at a Gamestop T_T
It was $4.97 but still. I always need to resell the PC version when a ps4 one is announced.
(Oh, by the way, Papy's dying : Indiebox is ending its subscription based business. Not enough growth I guess. The PC demand is not dynamic enough, and really when you compared their success to Limited Run's it was kinda sad. Good news is I'll save a little money and I won't have to worry about these Indiebox games going PS4 ^^)

Sooner or later yes, but I don't think that all games actually sell out online. Sometimes they appear to be taken offline and then later sold at conventions, etc.
The full price was declared on the package. Alas, I spent a lot more money with the hold shipment service than I would had I gotten every game shipped separately.

Probably not. DLC is not worthy of preservation. ;-)

I'm fine with this development. Another run I can successfully skip. YIS!

On the fence with Chariot... I think the price will likely be the clincher. Not sure I want to spend $35 bucks on it.

I'm waiting on a large hold order. From what I understand, all games are now on hand. I opened a support ticket to check the status of the pile and was told 'it can't ship until we receive Ys CE' even though I placed that order after I released my hold stockpile.
Ticket was closed straight away, and although I left a reply I'm not sure it will be acknowledged since for all intents and purposes the issue is marked as 'solved'.
Do I open another or just wait and see? Looking forward to seeing if I get hit for import tax too. Looking at nearly $300 worth of games here.

Those are the only LRG releases before the 20th right?
If so, no purchases before payday for me. Which is a good thing since I couldn't really afford it anyway!

Why is it $35? The game only costs $15 digitally (and has been on sale for $5 or less on several occasions).
Were there any more import tax "incidents" or has it been adressed? I have more than 20 games on hold and now I'm afraid to release them
I had to pay import tax plus a handling fee on a large hold order exceeding the Singaporean threshold for import tax, but I'm not sure if that really counts as an issue per se.
Might have to do with the little 'E' symbol in the bottom corner :/

Has anyone got their copy of Lawbreakers on the PS4 yet? Mine is still in limbo along with my copies of Wonderboy 😩
I can't find that price on an "official" channel. And even if the rating costs some money I don't think it can have a $10 impact on each game sold ^^
Unrelated, but finished Bard's Gold today. Very indie (only one developper) but satisfying. I enjoyed it

Didn't they say there wouldn't be a price increase
