Limited Run Seemingly Throws Old Guard Under The Bus, Promising No Future Delays

Limited Run Seemingly Throws Old Guard Under The Bus, Promising No Future Delays https://ift.tt/lEpW8d9 Limited Run has been no stranger to online controversy. Between allegations of using cheap recordable media in place of pressed CDs for certain games , a lawsuit for alleged violations of privacy , and severely delayed collectors' editions arriving with questionable quality control , things have been messy for the Embracer-Group-owned boutique physical games publisher for quite some time. However, with the recent departure of former CEO Josh Fairhurst, it appears that the new management is scrambling to make amends with customers --and subtly trashing the old management in the process.
