I was a full-on one-man print shop today. Stuffed and packed more than 100 magazine copies, printed, folded, cut, stapled a bunch of zines, designed and made my own physical edition of a digital-only game, and…
I made a new sticker pack! This is probably going to evolve into a bigger bundle as I have many more I want to make than can fit on these little 4x7" sticker sheets, but enjoy!
I want my custom physical game releases to resemble my real game copies II have, so let’s sticker them up. They were totally on a retail shelf at some point, right?!
I like the “Make a copy!” one
I’m on the fence about burning dvds and boxes, what’s so cool about them anyway? I’d rather bootleg a calendar or something to display the box art… Is patina the point, to avoid the overly clean modern look? circulate the tapes/ Well Loved Garfield Plush kind of thing?
There’s a lot of reasons! Many people feel a more tangible connection to their game by having a physical copy. Others like expressing themselves by having it on their shelves. Some just use it as an extra backup while getting the aesthetic benefits. Some want to slow down and be more intentional with their game choices.
Many of these goals can be achieved through the ideas you had, too! To each their own.
