The Coronavirus to the Gaming Industry
This is, by far, the worst game distributor in the planet, because they engage in crony capitalism, manipulative customer service, and long delays (even without the coronavirus pandemic)! I preordered a standard edition Tetris Effect soundtrack on DECEMBER 13 2019, but it didn't ship out for five months! Meanwhile, the Democrat governor of North Carolina (the state where Limited Run Games is based off of) has curtailed their operations so much, there was even more delay than acceptable. You should also know that they steal the rights to indie / Japanese games and make themselves the EXCLUSIVE distributor of those titles. The pre-order system is brutal, as you CANNOT cancel your order once you placed it. They also offer mediocre limited editions as well that are inferior to the original release. Clannad, for example, was released on the Nintendo Switch worldwide last year, but the Japanese gaming market got a special edition with a Drama CD (which basically is a collection of audio tracks that expand on the main story). What did Limited Run Games do? They became the exclusive licensee for a soundtrack that had been out on CD for years in Japan, with a poor-quality cardboard sleeve. If you are going to target every Japanese indie game in existence, they you are a coronavirus. Overall, we need to stop this bastion of crony capitalism before it's too late.
