(this is review of the product in terms of marketing, not a review of the gameplay, because we simply cant justify it.... game looks great)
would've happily paid $10-$20 for a rom, but 57 USD + international shipping fees is a CRAZY price for a gameboy game (im canadian, so that $57 is more like $80.
you do you, but i cant say i'm impressed with the sales model of your product. i know you wanna sell your carts and make a profit, but all you've done is chase me away from the game for now, and ensuring i'll eventually download a dubiously obtained rom file when one becomes available.
i wanna support your game, but i just CANT at that price, especially considering currency rates. gi ahead and call that a "me" problem, but im sure im not the only one who wanted to support this game but cant justfy it.
for that price, i can get a modern ps5 game with online support that will provide more than 10 hours of gameplay lol its not like the cartridge is sought after, so i couldnt even sell it to get my money back, because nobody knows about this game, theres no way you can sell somebody on a used gameboy game they havent heard of before at 50+
a rom would've been the way to go here. you want your game in as many hands as possible. those who like it will give you money to support it..... but not THAT much money lol maybe if i played through the gane first and enjoyed it enough to offer you that price..... but its a GB game..... expectations are limited.
as i said, i would've happily thrown you $20 for the rom, but a converted $57 USD to CAD + shiiping fees is a gouge and a half that i cant justify.
game looks great, that price is vile though haha best of luck, fingers crossed i dont end up with a dubious rom version lolol
