The Business of Videogame Reprints 40
An anonymous reader writes "Recently certain 'rare' videogames like Rez, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and Gitaroo-Man have circulated in the market starting at internet retailer Game Quest Direct. How did a seemingly unknown retailer end up getting these games? By acting as a financing publisher. Is this a possible future for other online retailers?"
I wish more companies would do this... (Score:1, Interesting)
I never got the Descent 1 & 2 bundle, and I regret not buying it. While my current machine can't run them; I now buy PC games when they hit the bargain bin just to secure them.
What would be really nice is if these publishing companies could get the expansion packs as well. For example I bought Sin, but never the expansion pack, and the republished version just has Sin.
Plus sometimes at Fry's Electronics you see big-boxed copies of games like Myth 3, so you have to wonder if they are getting them from some company's old where-house stock. Makes me wonder if there are where-houses full of old classics, just sitting there collecting dust.
