I can see it happening.  Followed by being told you don't deserve it if you didn't preorder.

Nah, I'm sure they will make it available later on, whether it's a reprint of what was available on kickstarter (by labelling it that), or some other method to distinguish the versions.

Agreed - those guys ain't gonna leave money on the table and pass on a chance to sell yet another reprint.  And even if they do, there's always CDRs.

Yeah.  That's what they like to do.   Reprint the living shit out of it to make it seem like it's some hot-as-f*ck item.

When really, they could have just produced a lot the first time around.

The cost to go from 300 to 500 discs for example, is like 30$.

They will of course print the bare ass minimum, sell out and go OMG WERE THE BIGGEST, BESTEST EVER.  LETS REPRINT!!1!!!2

then they will take peoples money, reprint it with some hokey ass shit all over the box and then do it again

and again

and again

IMO, They are now worse than SFT in terms of sheer stupidity.

Can you post something else besides update propaganda for the enemy?

Can you post something else besides pissing and moaning about 'em?  We get it, you don't like them.

Again - it's their project. If they can sell copies, let them sell copies. I fail to see how this affects you directly. If you don't like it don't buy it and stop whining about it.

The Homebrew scene is like the Occupy Movement of the gaming world.

EA / Activision is the other side of that equation, the rich a$$hole guys that no one likes.

Pier Solar has decided to join ranks with the evil empire and they deserve all of the shit they are taking.

They have essentially turned into a publicly funded company, but what is worse is that those who are funding the company don't get back what they are putting in.  Those funding get no shares to sell, instead they get some lame ass poster, basically it is a scam.  Exploitation of a few schmucks that want to play a new Dreamcast RPG.  If anything, this makes these guys WORSE than the likes of EA and Activision.

With that said, this is a free country and Pier Solar's developers can do whatever they want to do.  However, since this is a free country, I hope they get blasted for their decision.  LET THEM EAT CAKE!

Can you post something besides the usual contrary to be contrary post?

Besides, my "pissing and moaning" has resulted in conversation here...and in the shoutbox, which you too were a part of, numbnuts.   :)

heck, it even made Joe laugh.  f*ck yeah.   :dance:

My point though is I wish Arm would post something besides Pier Solar HD updates, or Super Battle Kid 9000 updates.  All I ever see Arm post is stuff like that anymore.  Why not talk about cool shit, like the PCE, or something?


Again - it's their project. If they can sell copies, let them sell copies. I fail to see how this affects you directly. If you don't like it don't buy it and stop whining about it.

Grats on missing the point as usual, dude.

I'd like to meet whoever initiated the "If you don't like it, stop complaining" mentality in the hearts and minds of humanity.  It's quite possibly one of the stupidest concepts ever.  Nothing ever gets better if everyone just sits and keeps quiet.

OH YOU DON'T LIKE THAT SOME COMPANY IS RIPPING PEOPLE OFF AND SCAMMING ABOUT?  TOUGH SHIT, THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT STOP WHINING. 

f*ck that.  Don't tell me what I can and can't bitch about.


Anyway:

Reprint upon reprint does the following:

1) It screws up the value of the games and makes the secondary market a wreck, which in turn screws over average joe gamers that just want to try the frigging game.
2) It makes a mockery out of the entire homebrew concept.  Your reprint probably didn't need to exist, you just failed to produce the required amount due to miscalculations or ignorance.
3) It results in false hype and false demand.
4) It allows for this entire kickstarter that is basically milking money out of the loyal fanbase to exist and continue to make a mockery out of the homebrew concept. 

I get that Pier Solar is super popular.  It's got a hype wave that's bigger than Tommy Lee's dong.  That's cool.  I'm thrilled for them.  That's what happens when you spend 8 years making a game and leave people waiting for it.

I am just extremely disappointed to see them turning their simple Tavern RPG into such a commercialized mess.  They kind of bitch slapped everyone upon the original release, so this is just comical.

They basically pulled a Green Day. 

I hope their over confident shenanigans pay off, only for the sake of the people who dumped all the money into the project.  They don't deserve to lose money to vaporware and lies.

You are too vague. Please elaborate. Thank you.

Getting back to the Pier Solar is the "biggest 16-bit RPG" thing, the sound programmer (not composer) said that the game would be around 120 megabits if uncompressed. So biggest 16-bit cart RPG. I wonder how big some CD RPGs would be if all of the voice, FMV and all of that stuff were removed.
