[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63187, member: 1"] Limited Run Games, the company known for selling limited, special-edition quantities of physical video games, has issued an apology after fans complained that they were having issues playing the physical re-release of the game D on the original 3DO game console. Several on X/Twitter and [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/LimitedPrintGames/comments/1chaqr4/limited_runs_d_on_3do_doesnt_work_anyone_else/'][U]Reddit[/U][/URL] pointed out the problems, including X/Twitter user [URL='https://twitter.com/ToddsNerdCave/status/1785752236565348761'][U]@ToddNerdCave[/U][/URL], who noted that the company is putting the 3DO games on CD-Recordable (CD-R) instead of pressed discs. "They won't even work on real hardware," he added. For those unaware of the difference between CD-R and pressed discs, the former are blank discs that can record data using a CD burner. At the same time, the latter has data permanently encoded and is used for commercial releases of physical media, including movies and video games. Pricing and scarcity of these products aside, Limited Run Games' decision to use CD-R over pressed discs is an issue regarding compatibility, as older devices with optical drives might have issues reading CD-Rs. Another [URL='https://twitter.com/Voultar/status/1785760704663896230']user on X/Twitter pointed out[/URL] the absurdity of Limited Run Games' choice, calling out that the company is charging more than $60 for a limited physical release, "yet they're burning CD-Rs for some of the disc-based titles." In a statement sent to IGN, a Limited Run Games spokesperson acknowledged that "some of [its] customers have experienced issues" when trying to play D: The Collector's Edition on the original 3DO console. They apologize to those experiencing the issues, pledging to work with "new partners to find a solution" to get pressed discs to replace the CD-R discs customers received and noting that future 3DO games would not enter production "until this issue has been fully resolved."
