I think thats good except for the 25% because people want the xtra goodies that the blue varient doesnt include.
Are the extras actually in the Vita box?
I expected them to be separate. No way a pack of cards can fit inside the Vita case.

So I know this won't please everyone (I don't think anything will) but this is how the extra blue variants will be sold. Bear in mind that most people wanting it are completionists that want every variant and cover.
- 70% will be sold in a bundle with all three sealed cover variants. Again, most of the people who want the variant want all three covers, so this is the cleanest and easiest way to give them that wish.
- 25% will be added to the pool of standard copies and inserted into orders of those - meaning any orders of a standard copy could end up being the blue variant. If you get the blue cover and don't want it, we'll gladly accept the return and swap it for the regular cover.
- 5% will be sold in charity auctions on eBay.
The charity auction ones will likely sell for "market value" whatever that is, but your money will be going to charity, not a reseller.
If you miss out, see below.
Yes, that's highly likely. IIRC, I had to order 1,500 or 2,500 covers to hit their minimum so they've got a surplus on hand that will come back to us in a few months.
Hopefully this means that nearly everyone should have no reason to be upset at this point.

I believe they mentioned the blue variant doesnt include the extras so i assumed inside.
The cards and map are outside. Any orders from our site will get them.

Ya this continues to baffle me...especially since their ID@Xbox efforts have been good so far. It's a shame.Is there any justification towards Microsoft having a minimum disc print? Just wondering, because I find it really annoying. Wouldn't there be more of a gain by printing X (X being under 10k, or maybe 15k) copies VS 50K which probably wouldn't even fully sell?
I really wonder what their minimum order is since I've seen more obscure games get releases like Worms WMD, Prison Architect, Monster Jam, Carmageddon etc. I doubt those games would warrant a 50k print run but they seem to exist so...?
Ya I think I read somewhere that Japan has a lot less of a minimum because of that reason. Just wondering why the west has a much higher one. I don't *think* it's 50k, but that is what Xbox 360 was. I'm thinking it might be more around 20-25k which would still be a bit outside of LRGs desireI kind of doubt that there's a 50k minimum print run. At least here in Asia so many obscure Xbox titles got released and the installation base is relatively small compared to PlayStation. It might differ from region to region though...

Ya true haha . I would think it would be good for LRG and the devs though to be able to increase print runs on multiplat games. For example Stealth Inc could have offered maybe 3k XB1 copies alongside the PS4 and Vita versions. Would probably be a logistics nightmare syncing up MS and Sony printing though haha.It might just be a question of negotiation and getting through to the right people. Let's say they have a ~20k minimum run, but at the same time the average publisher only releases 4-5 games/year. Considering LRG's consistent output, it should definitely make up for the smaller print runs.
Although I have to admit that I probably wouldn't buy many Xbox One games apart from a few exclusives. :-D
Unfortunately, we will be pushing back the launch date of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD to December 16th instead of this Friday.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but what game are you talking about that will have three variant covers and a map?
Is it for the upcoming Oddworld: Strangers Wrath?
Yep.

They're doing it to combine release date with Firewatch.
I was one of the people asking them to do this and it's blown up in my face. I booked an hour free in work to make sure I'd be able to pick this up, now the release is when I've got a client booked in so I'll struggle to make it.
Bummer. I'll have to try for the later one, otherwise eBay it is!
Yep, love that they're grouping releases up now but with the limited number of Strangers Wrath triple pack available I'll be making a point to order that as quickly as possible, not sure I trust it to stay in my basket if I go to checkout to allocate it and then back out to get Firewatch too!
...kinda wish they'd hold it back until Lone Survivor is ready as well...

That delay sucks. I took tomorrow off from work to try and get Stranger's Wrath. I don't have the 16th off. I know this is such a first world problem. but what a bummer.
Just take a toilet break. Shouldn't take more than a minute or two to place your order. ;-)
Hey everyone, we owe a heartfelt apology to the great folks at @iam8bit.
Recently we were tagged on some negative comments regarding them and instead of positivity we responded with more negativity.
This was neither professional nor reflective of the kind of community we want to build around physical games.
