They take up way less space and are a lot cheaper. Not as much stuff to do with them as Amiibo figures, though. They had Animal Crossing e-Reader cars as well. I have a lot of them, but not a full set. In fact, the Animal Crossing cards are the only US e-Reader cards that I don't have a full set for. I have a full set for the SMB 3 cards, a full set of cards for NES games, and all of the other minor US stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMR | 544 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I built me a nice big PC a few years ago because I was going to switch over to just playing new stuff on PC. Screw these new fangled underpowered set top boxes. Then I realized 60GB games take a looooooooooooooooong time to download. Now I only use that PC whenever I need to do something with windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, even modern console gaming has not escaped this issue. Oh, so I bought the disc but it requires a 25GB day one "patch" to play it? Yeah, that's not fishy at all.

a_profile_name | 230 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'm glad I have zero interest in LRG. Never got the appeal they have to most people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not on the LRG bandwagon. I mean, I can understand why some people are...but it's definitely not something for me and my wallet is thankful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't care about physical releases, there's no reason to. Personally I don't really want to play any game that I can't own and hold in my hand, if it can be avoided. Not an LRG thing specifically, but they definitely enabled a lot of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BortLicensePlate | 652 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I don't care much for physical games on new consoles. I happily just download them for convenience. I mean, a lot of "physical games" these days aren't even on the disk and need to be downloaded anyway, so what's the difference. I mostly collect NES games, and even then I don't get stuff very often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPX | 1,411 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I’m happily interested when others are happily disinterested. This is when I get things on the cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pendragonx | 119 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I have zero interest these days in competitive moba's/online multiplayer games that I used to play a lot of back in college Also, mobile games.. They're super popular globally and make a ton of money, but I couldn't be less interested in them 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 4,107 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Handhelds. Bleh. And I find it a constant source of annoyance when game series I collect have mainline games exclusively on little Billy’s whatever stupid handheld that’s not the original Gameboy. Get that crap out of here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely do care for physical releases. I just don't care for the "limited" / "collectible" aspect of their releases, that imo they are using as a major selling point. For the part where they release indie games that otherwise wouldn't get any release - I'm totally for it, I just don't happen to keep up with current indie releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the case for most people buying from them, I have a hard time seeing their releases as "collectible", and their collector editions are usually really bad anyway. The limited availability gimmick is a good way to assure all copies will sell at the retail price though. A lot of these releases couldn't afford to drop into the bargain bin immediately, or compete with the second hand market. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andykin Skysk8r | 54 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Im glad I dont collect stuff period. Not that I dislike collecting but as soon as there is a significant paywall in front of me I pass. Looking at the prices on some things collecting is an easy way to ruin your finances and to some people its more addicting than cigarettes. These days If I buy games they are PS2 or Xbox games, simply because they are the only ones in the price range where I feel comfortable buying them on a whim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,125 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Smart move, that's mostly what I do now too. If I can't wing a hell of a deal, whatever is local, cheap, and dumb luck I'm there first, great. I gave in and broke my wall against flash kits aside from GB family a few years or so back and it saved a lot of disgust and loss. There is no harm to a point paying up though, especially on a lot, because you take what you want knowing the rest will make it cheap, free, or somewhat profitable. That's how to win these days if you bother at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
