So street date has officially been broken over a month early. Damn you gotta figure that's a lot to risk for so little money. That's at most maybe ~$5,000? And if he gets caught he will be sued into dust. Why is the game releasing so late if they already have printed copies though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he already got caught and that's criminal larceny so he's getting rightfully ****ed up. They're printing now to avoid having to rush thanks to the holiday season. Games routinely print a month or so before release right after going gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people want the physical copies they can just get that shipped to them whenever they come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be able to market your product carefully to maximize sales when you're betting a ****load of money on it. This isn't tiny indie game. This is Disney.

Mate ya gotta make your stock in advance, especially when you're betting on the game more or less being your big hit for the year like SE/Disney are. I'm sure SE has other titles coming out for 2019 but I can't think of one/ a bigger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.1 they're still working on the game (expect a big day 1 patch) so like they're still not gonna let you play it just yet. no.2 They set a release date no.3 The people that want a physical copy/expect it to be out in late January suddenly hear "KH3 is now selling digital copies" no.4 you can buy it digitally. It's been out for pre-order like 2 weeks on Xbox and I think PS4 got it this week. Really hoping the Xbox Version is playable on P.C because I have longed for the days when a KH game is playable on P.C via legal means and non emulation means. Xehanort damn you 358/2 days. I wonder if the switch will get a port at some point or if they'll just never do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah man I'm all for digital, but console games should continue to have physical disks. If only to keep copies of games around after servers for a generation shuts down and games are lost for good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm not going to be convinced Kingdom Hearts III is coming out until I actually have the game in my hand. That game has been delayed and pushed back so many times, it's the only way to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
