Limited Run Games is a publisher of limited runs of physical games. There are other outlets, like Strictly Limited, that do a similar thing but Limited Run Games is what I would consider the industry leader in this very interesting world of limited video game releases. Their popularity recently has continued to only soar as collectors attempt to collect a wide range of their products, from the games they love to those who just love to collect every release.

Over time, these collector’s editions went up and down in price, with things like the World of Warcraft original collector’s edition still growing in price. At the same time, they also became more of a legacy, long forgotten as games went digital and video game retailers along with department stores didn’t want to carry clunky boxes that wouldn’t sell. Then there are the games they just publish, which are just for sale like normal games during the products lifecycle. It’s a small business, ultimately you have to walk into purchasing from them with the understanding that there is a long timeline for the production of the game and for it to ship out to you.

The gamer community embraced the releases, not only due to the physical nature (with the case and goodies and everything) but the fact that a lot of the games would never have seen a physical release without someone like Limited Run Games making it economical for the developer.
