Meemoo (npub148r…tqt6) Ratings companies are horrid. They've been proven to never give real ratings, often just slapping a sticker on and calling it a day so a collector can jerk off to his cardboard box inside of some plastic that he'll never play. Some assholes even do this with prototypes or absurdly rare games with no ROM out there, grade it and never play it so they can be superior while acting like a supreme asshole to everyone who does want to play it. They'll then sell the game later for tens of thousands and act like they're doing the community "a service."
I partially also blame Limited Run Games, a company that ""helps indies publish their games physically for archival by giving them a limited run release."" Really they're now scam artists, asking indie devs to only print 10000 copies of their game so half of them can be sold to their "devoted partner" ebay resellers who are already prepared to price hike by a couple hundred.
Even Sega has partnered with them for recent releases instead of putting out their own physical copies in the west, so if you want a copy of the new Sonic Generations remaster, or a copy of any new Persona release, have fun dealing with the greedy bastards and their "limited releases."
