At least now you're three hours closer to the second batch.
Ha that's one way to think about it. Guess I'll try and grab some shut eye and wake up 10 minutes before the shitstorm.

At this rate you will be asking them to make a new listing with one copy that requires a password to buy and giving you that password =P
Seems strange to buy antique coins and not buy some drinks with them. Or antique stamps and not send postcards with those suckers.
Actually it doesn't.
That's basically what he wants lol
I always wanted CSH to be #5. Now I wonder what #5 is.
Isn't it as follows?
#1 Breach & Clear (PSVita)
#2 Saturday Morning RPG (PS4)
#3 Saturday Morning RPG (PSVita)
#4 Cosmic Star Heroine (PS4)
#5 Cosmic Star Heroine (PSVita)
#6 Oddworld ... etc.
I thought that too but we're wrong. LolIsn't it as follows?

Disqualified orders will go up at 6 PM EST to give everyone a fair shot.
I also play digital games and keep my physical sealed, but only if I bought a digital version not knowing a physical was coming or it was on PlayStation Plus.
There is only like one factory that still makes PSP games and it's a long wait to get into queue. I also wouldn't want to hold up Vic at Gaijinworks.

What happen if i can't at 6 pm but i was supposed to be "ok" this morning ?
He give us the option to send them a email i'll wait their answers..
Contact their twitter they probably aren't checking gaf right now. They probably won't do anything though.
No set date but we're looking at first half of this year.
I ordered a copy of the Vita version, but then placed a separate order for the PS4 version. If I had ordered them both together, would I have had to pay shipping twice?
If not, do you think they would combine the two orders for me?
Deciding a time gives everyone a chance to prepare.
The batch going up later probably won't sell out as fast, since the bulk of orders probably came the first. That's my guess anyway, I don't have data to back that up. Point is, there might be some hope.
If you don't play them, why buy them?!
I feel like all the promotion they've been getting is kind of a bad thing and its been just going to increase the number of scalpers.
Publicity is usually great but when your first game sold out on basically your own word of mouth in an hour, to now have a bunch of websites doing articles about your company but not increasing the number of units to match the increased demand is only going to create headaches.
Hopefully over time demonstration of high demand will allow for larger runs.I feel like all the promotion they've been getting is kind of a bad thing and its been just going to increase the number of scalpers.

The number of units was decided by the makers of the game not by Limited Run Games.
And it's 1980 copies because the game draws inspiration from the 1980s.
How do you know they are scalpers?It will sale out just as fast. They aren't freeing up very many copies because they are letting the scalpers who bought 2 still keep both.

You're wasting your time. Apparently anyone that kept them from getting a copy is a scalper. Plenty of valid reasons have already been offered and ignored. In no way is a limit of 2 items excessive or hoarding. It sucks that things sell out. I wish they could have gotten one, but it happens and they have another chance. I thought things went pretty well, but would also like to see more stock in the future.
When is batch 2? It's not in the OP.

It's a tough thing to get right though. If these things aren't hard to get, that probably diminishes their appeal to a lot of people. So it's about (imo) striking a balance between availability and limiting it enough to maintain excitement about the product line.
SMRPG also did have a larger run than B&C. IIrc that one was 1000 or 1500? Then this one is like 1980 (Is that across both systems or just one?)
At the end of the day the only rule they broke was the 2 quantity order limit. They cannot dictate what people do with their copies. They got them fair and square. Yes it is shitty that they are scalping but what else is new?The ebay scalper with 6 copies got all but 1 order cancelled. So they let the scalper keep 2 copies. There are several scalpers on ebay selling 2 copies.
They want, not need. With that logic, anyone who wants to buy one to play should just buy it digitally instead.

No they let the ebay scalper keep 2 copies of the game. Them not limiting it to 1 at first is another argument.
It's only fair to those too slow to get a copy themselves.
Capitalism makes you upset, I get it. If they limited it to 1 and you didn't get one, would you still be upset? Of course you would be. The issue isn't the allowed quantity, which at 2 is reasonable. The issue is, you didn't get one. Everyone can relate to that, it sucks. I wish you luck in a few hours. I hope you get one.
I got 2 vita copies and it doesn't make me a scalper. I collect vita games and often buy 2. One to keep sealed for my collection and one to play. You don't have to understand, but you might want to learn to accept that not everyone in the world conforms to your ideals, opinions or beliefs.
DING-FREAKING-DING! The people trying to shit on collectors because they didn't get a copy are hilarious.
We get it, you wanted one. You still have another chance though!

Each person ordering a copy should have to write a 3-paragraph, 1000 character minimum, letter with their purchase explaining, in detail, what they plan to do with their purchases including pictures of any display cases, if displaying is the intention. Must also provide proof, receipts and pictures, that purchaser is in possession of console for the format they intend on purchasing.
Purchaser must then send follow-up pictures/narrative no less than 2-months after purchase to verify they indeed followed through on original 3-paragraph, 1000 character minimum, letter.

Sure, i got the normal version witch is totally fine for me. What upset me a little it was on my cart with the CD soundtrack, then i tried to checkout it and it said it was already sold out, weird way to arrange transaction, but at the same i think most of seller site work like that...
Got a email answer to try it at 6Pm for the he CD soundtrack bundle... forget that this not a good solution for me i got a family i can't stay in front of my keyboard and press F5 until it unlock at first minute... This is ridiculous i can understand the limited value, but have to fight like that is not fun at all.
I can't imagine many would debate you on it not being fun. I don't like the stress and anxiety either. Paid in full pre-orders are still the best solution. LRG needs to take some tips from Victor Ireland. That is how you serve a niche audience. Maybe someday they'll come to that conclusion, but if not, I suspect this will be a recurring theme.
They aren't going to they make more money off of people buying multiple copies to sale on ebay later. They don't want to tone that down by letting people preorder because that will take away the limited appeal.
Maybe you should stop talking down to people who put the items in the cart at 10am and found them sold out a few seconds later when they logged in to pay for them. The site was borked and not tracking inventory properly.
Victor sells more than 2500 copies of psp games at twice the price. So please, tell me how they aren't making money? They would still sell 2 copies to many collectors as well. If only scalpers were buying these, there would be far more listed on ebay. If you cut off pre sales at a designated time, you also maintain a limited number with resale potential. Gaijinworks games still resale over retail, so you still appeal to that market.
Maybe you should stop acting like you were entitled to a copy? People bought them planning to scalp, it's going to happen. They can only do so much to curb that. Can't go back in time and set on aside for you.
Lot of people were on the site buying, issues are expected. Can't blame them too much for the site going screwy when loads of people were flooding the site. They are still new to this..

I am reading this, but also trying to answer tons of emails. So don't worry, if I see something that NEEDS to be addressed I will be here!
