In case anyone missed this: I am no longer at Limited Run and I have not been involved in any day-to-day operations since mid-January.

I don't work at Limited Run anymore, so I have no incentive to sell these releases outside of wanting to see them succeed, but I haven't seen LRG mention something key.
These games are part of a series of games that always become notoriously expensive and sought after by collectors.

I am eternally grateful to @milkman.bsky.social for helping me get Tetsuya Nomura's signature on a few of my favorite games.
While my favorite in the series is FFX, VII opened my eyes to JRPGs and in conjunction with Pokémon Red, it inspired me to start learning how to make my own games.

Something I learned at LRG, from numerous attempts: extending preorders on a product that is selling poor does nothing to boost sales, it just spreads the same sales over a longer window and delays production. If a product has no upfront demand, that demand is not going to just suddenly materialize.

I went to Yokosuka earlier tonight. It felt surreal, like returning to a place I'd been before (even though I hadn't)

Wrapped up Day 2 of visiting SEGA in Tokyo!
I also visited Madarake, Trader, and Super Potato today. Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed by choice. I love how packed the stores are! I mostly focused on completing my SEGA AGES 2500 collection.

It looks like I made the right decision to skip out on DICE to be present for what I had on Monday.
I am feeling pretty good right now.

With 2025 drawn to a close, it feels like the right time to announce that I stepped down as CEO at Limited Run Games back in September. I'm still working there as President until March, but after that, I will be scaling back to redirect my focus to new adventures.

These collections include a ton of licensed tables. Historically, lapsed licenses on tables causes pinball games like these to end up delisted at some point.
Don't sleep on the chance to add these to a forever collection - no one can take your physical copies away when the licenses expire!

People can disrespect the Digital Pictures library all they want, but Slam City and Prize Fighter are actually pretty fun when technology isn't holding them back.
