They're like any other repro.   high price for low effort.

Used for shelf fodder collector's high placebo effects by people who don't know how to burn a CD, or use Kinko's Online services.

Is that a thing? Do they burn images better than a home cdr?

^^^^^^^^^^^^

The repros were currently talking about are some other dude making CD-Rs with corny print jobs.

AKA: Stuff you could do yourself for basically nothing.

Kinkos will print and cut a PDF of a manual for hardly anything.  They'll even staple it.



I cringe when people pay 20$+ for someone else to burn a CD and jankily print stuff off.    It's a little different when there's some sort of perk or something, like those Electrohaze remasters where he did SOMETHING aside from copy a disc.

Nobody in 2017 should be paying 20$ for someone else to burn a f*ckin CD-R and print like 1$ worth of stuff unless they like, don't own a CD-Burner (wtf), or have no way to get to Kinkos.

I've just gotten used to the idea that we will most likely never see anymore CD game translations because of Tobias stealing translations. It sucks, but it is what it is. Doubt he will stop anytime soon unless there is some legal recourse that can be taken. I'm perfectly fine with him making and selling repros to whoever may want them but steeling translated works for money is just downright wrong.

I wonder if we will not be seeing future translated HU card games as well because of the repro Hu cards some other people are making now. I've seen a few translated ones floating around.

Yeah, he might stop if pieces of shit quit supporting him.

but, that ain't happening because people are stupid.
