you're right.
I might buy it. Plus we get an extra $3 off with discount code.
The Cowcat developer liked that tweet, that's how it showed on my Twitter feed. Maybe he's one of the signed developers.
French dev, certainly fits. He's been heavily hinting that Riddled Corpses & Xenon Valkyrie will be getting physical versions too.

It's great news for sure!
Teeth don't suppose you have any planned time frame of how long, from the launch of the DLC, a wait this would be?
nope. But like you said, there is the JPN physical. At least it has Eng subs.

Lol if they went with that spine I can't see them lasting long woof
i think ESRB will have something to say about the size of the rating badges too as i'm sure they have to be a certain size
Like in honesty I just think they need a actual graphic designer on the case
I'm really starting to get bummed out by Microsoft's policy's now
Below, ashen, sabel all NEED physical
Why is it no one is able to release Xbox titles again ?

The minimum print run is just too high for companies like Limited Run Games to justify, IIRC.
I hate that goat simulator has a physical Xbox release ... but none of these will

I will never stop being impressed how so many low print companies have been popping out over the last two years and how not a single one of them has signed up indie darling Supergiant Games, who have not one but three highly praised games that never saw a physical release. It seriously baffles me.
And they never will , super giant do not care nor have any interest in physical releases
Where did you hear that and why would they not want to sell extra copies of their games?
I've had it said to me by several indie / publishers that I'm in communication with
They are rolling in money, so why do they care ... they give no shits about the gamer.
So obsessed with owning there own license that preservation be damnned, it's very sad really

i just had to check who that was, totally forgot. yea, i played through transistor but it wasn't very memorable.
Weird. A while back during a Supergiant AMA they said that they weren't against a physical release.
This was Greg's response to a question about a physical release less than a year ago:
"Hey, yeah, as a studio whose games exist exclusively as data on people's hard disks, we see a lot of appeal in creating physical versions of our games or aspects of them. That's why we've invested so much in our online store, with soundtrack CDs and figurines and stuff like that. We've never put our games in a box, though! It's something we've thought about for sure, it's just never really come together for us thus far. Maybe someday! Thank you for your interest."

Two faced liar, the nerve of him!
Jokes aside, some clarification on where they stand on the matter would be nice. Mixed messages doesn't help anyone.
I asked LRG during their post E3 Q&A, and the response Josh gave was also kind of vague. He said that Supergiant games are at the very top of the list for him since pretty much when LRG started and that they've been trying. No other details other than that though, so not really sure if it's a communication thing or if they've just flat out told them that they don't want any physical copies.
My personal guess is that Supergiant might want a wide release physical release if any physical release is done at all, but maybe none of the huge publishers that get games on all the shelves at Gamestop, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart have come calling?
Believe what you want, I'm relaying the facts and unless any of these games release on physical or they make a statement
You believe all the puff piece crap you like
Mixed messages are all these guys are good for
The actual issue is they don't want to make ANY deals with anyone, because they are wrapped up in themselves
That's so lame if true. There are so many people who want physical copies of their games.
I especially wanted Vita copies of them, but now with Vita cart production ending, it doesn't look like we'll ever get those.
Super Rare Games is back on their teasing bullshit again for their fourth release. I was going to say "obviously it's going to be Never Alone", but it turns out that hasn't been ported to the Switch yet.
I don't get the hate aimed at a startup , everything takes time, also frankly you should be greatfull that at least some people are actively trying to preserve games
People bite and attack one of the last lines of defence against a digital only future, ridiculous
I can confirm super rares next batch of releases are all high quality (and yes I know exactly what they are)
Strange that Play-Asia still hasn't revealed next week's game. They did it on Friday for "Dimension Drive"....I wonder what the holdup is. Soon, hopefully!
Speaking only for myself, I find them to be juvenile and immature. That combined with no interest in anything they release makes it an easy pass.
Do you work for Curve or are you George? I personally wrote Super Rare off when they started and were taking shots at LRG. While that's certainly one way to try and create some buzz about your startup, it's a questionable approach and feels more appropriate to a school yard. You didn't see Special Reserve or Strictly Limited do that. I have considerably more respect for SLG and have bought all of their releases. Beyond that, it's just the way I feel. I find their twitter to be unprofessional at times. I was trying to find a political comment that was liked by Super Rare, but can't locate it now, so I guess we'll chalk that up to either my being mistaken or it was removed. I find the begging for retweets for hints to be, well begging for attention. The official twitter should be for announcements and news. Take the personal stuff to your personal account. I could go on, including early concerns over manipulating stock levels to give the impression of increased demand, but I don't feel like scouring twitter and google for references, as we're discussing my opinion anyway.
To end, there's nothing to really feedback except the idea that there will always be people that are going to hate on something. The only reason I even commented was to respond to your comment of not understanding the 'hate' aimed at a startup. They started on the wrong foot with many LRG supporters. This isn't some huge secret.
Plus the last time Super Rare Games did this teasing nonsense, they dragged it out for the smart end of a week and in the end they only confirmed that it was Shelter Generations on the day of sale, which is something that I don't approve of. Like, I really dislike how Strictly Limited only gives about 48 hours notice, but at least its something. Super Rare gave three hours notice last time round, and I expect they're going to do something similar this time.
If I remember correctly, there was a little buzz when Strictly Limited started off because a PR announcement that was making the rounds. I don't remember the exact phrasing but it said something along the lines of putting LRG out to the curb, whatever it was, it was abit mean spirited. They later claimed they didn't put that into the PR message, that it was some one else, but i don't know. It sounds like they are on much more common ground now though.
Strictly Limited Games actually did that, much worse than Super Rare Games. They name-called LRG on their very first PR piece.
