    Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

    Was away a few years and came back to pure insanity! I see games selling used for more than I can order and wait a few months to get new. This is just stupid.
    So yeah a part of this is stupid money that must have what they want yesterday. And part of this is the horrible model of limited editions.
    I wish manufacturers would stop the LE Business. If 1000 sell then run another 500. Don't leave money in flippers pockets. Sell a standard and Top Tier and run as many as you have buyers for. Would make them more money and end this madness.

    Welcome back, hadn’t seen you around. Not only is demand much higher but our shitty dollar isn’t worth the same. That’s a very important part of this equation.

    Quoted from Fatsquatch:

    Same here. It’s quite shocking to see how things have turned out with game prices, unecessary mods (like toppers) that cost a bloody fortune, and how quickly the addicts will commit to throwing THOUSANDS of dollars into a proposed new machine without knowing much of anything about it.

    I agree, although I might go a step farther: Make one damn version of a game and price them reasonably.
    (I absolutely HATE the current model of machine production with varying models; it’s just nonsense.)

    I disagree with the hate of multiple tier approach. If the multiple tier gives more money to the manufacturers they can be healthier businesses. When Stern was running the 1 model approach they were the only manufacturer and they were in financial trouble. That isn’t a great business model.
