You-know-who has a new round of bootlegs that aren't any different than the originals content-wise. I saw recently that the guy flipping them on ebay is constantly selling the bootleg Dracula X for 75% as much as the original... which ironically has come down in price because most English speaking collectors would rather pay that much for a "new" copy.
He also got his hacker to create a stand-alone Dark Left. He better give japanjack full credit.

I would like to have a factory pressed copy of Image Fight II for sure, but no way am I buying into this "high roller" madness again.

When bootlegs cost as much as originals, you know it's time to leave the planet.

I was browsing a certain online game store just now and saw this: Assuming it's a pressed CD, who made this? It's not on Tobias's store, and it's not in the same style anyway. Where did it come from?

I bet it's just a burn of a CDR. Does it have any images of the discs or packaging? also, link?

No packaging or disc photos. Just a cover shot.
It's from Good Deal Games: Link

Looks like Tobias noticed how gullible collectards were to pay more for bootlegs of Dracula X than legit copies and STILL be able to flip them for further profit.
So he's going to perpetually release different limited edition sets of the same game(s), so that the same people will continue to buy/collect all of them.
I already have an image in my mind of someone years from now, showing off their Drac X collection on youtube, with dozens of LE versions of the game... but not one official release.

It'll probably be some moron like RGT85 or Metal Jesus Rocks sharing their entire Tobias collection. Seriously fucking stupid.

If I could kinda put a face on the whole scene that values "outward showoff-ishness" versus "inward appreciation" it would be Metal Jesus. I unsubbed him years ago when it became apparent that he was the former rather than the latter.

MJR at least comes off as some one I could grab a beer with and bullshit with. He seems like a chill dude to hang around with. RGT85 is just the definition of douche, any time I see a thumbnail of him it just makes me want to punch him in the face. Seriously have no idea how this fuck nugget has gotten the viewership and subscribers he has.

As soon as a channel starts doing Switch coverage it seems that their viewership doubles. I got turned off from him long ago when he started bragging about buying a $100 repro of Street Fighter 2 for the snes. $100. Seriously.

Will he regain your respect after bragging about flipping it for $500?
