LRG still releases everything they announce. The only exception being the cancelled Sharin no Kuni for Vita, and no one knows what's going on with the other Sekai Project titles that got announced (World End Economica and Narcissu).
I think that one recently got DLC? There's been stuff before stalled for a long time waiting for the "all on disc/cart" bit.
This one had an update at one point and I forget what that was, but there was some issues working on it.
Nah. Microsoft can still get their payment up front and let LRG handle it. Would be nice knowing that any residuals would go to the affected, but that is not how this works sadly.
Sometimes physical releases involve folding patches (and sometimes DLC) into the game in what is effectively a special SKU just for the physical release, which would have required people at Tango to work that out.
I guess we don't know the kind of product limited run will offer but hopefully it's at least complete on disc regarding the need for bug fix patches.
Microsoft still owns HFR. They can keep making money off of that for years if they want to.

They can have an unpaid intern get that master over to LRG easy peasy.
They announced it June 14th, 2021 and said there'd be more information to come May 19th 2023. So, announced it almost three years ago and said there'd be an update almost a year ago. I'm not adding it to the "they release everything they announce" pile until they at least put it up for order.
Their subreddit account answered a question about it a few months ago with a generic "it's still coming!" So who knows lol
Finally got Radiant Silvergun from a reseller for way more than the original price. Not sure what they did but the back cover is almost unreadable. Such poor printing quality. Also got Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 with alternate cover for a reasonable price. Not gonna bother with the first game looking at the prices. LRG can fuck off for all I care now. Awful business practices.

Seems Hi-Fi Rush is still happening. Probably.
On a slightly unrelated note, I've been hearing adding a shipping box to an order can often hold it back, as it's treated as a separate "item" and placed into a lower priority queue. May explain why I've been waiting 4 months on Beacon Pines, since I added a shipping box to that order. Supposedly someone who works for another Embracer owned company said they received new rules this year stating any orders big enough to require a box are lower priority for shipping than orders that can ship in a standard mailer, so I imagine it may be a similar thing with LRG if that's true.
This is all hearsay I've read elsewhere, nothing concrete, but I can definitely believe it. Still wondering if my purple dot orders will even ship in boxes since they updated their FAQ to pretty much just say "only collector's edition games ship in a box by default". I still remember receiving a game in a bubble mailer several years ago from them and it was utterly crushed, so it'd be nice to not have to deal with something like that again.
If true, that's trash. Their whole audience is collectors. What percentage are going to be happy with just a bubble mailer?
They should really just do boxes by default.
I really don't get why they don't. I don't think boxes are even much more costly to ship than bubble mailers. I'm actually struggling to think of any other limited print game companies I've ordered from that don't send their games in boxes or cardboard envelopes by default, at least based on the ones I've ordered from throughout the years (Red Art Games, Fangamer, Strictly Limited Games, Super Rare Games, etc.).
With LRG, I've only done single-item orders with them twice, and both times the game came in a bubble mailer, so since then I usually try to order at least 2 things at a time from LRG so hopefully they ship it to me in a box. However, it looks like the only way to guarantee a box is to have an order of at least 3 games, since I've had orders of 2 games come in a bubble mailer as well.
Just received Arzette standard edition o/
I was about to preorder Rogue Legacy 2 and probably Lara Croft Collection and I've noticed they've considerably lowered their shipping cost to Europe. I tried to add several games to my cart and apparently shipping now costs $10.09 up to 7 games, and even then after that it only jumps to $13.51.
Before that it was I think around $13 up to 4 games and then it jumped to $18 or something.

Confirmation that it's still happening before the studio closes (along with a patch).
