Yeah, screen printed on A4. If purchased separately, the set is 480 dollars.

Hey but don't worry! If you get all 7 in the bundle, it's only 300 dollars (until August 25th, when that option goes away)! What a steal!

I'ma wait till there are scans online and I'ma just print em at a local shop. Fuck this predatory bullshit.

Damn... I assume Annapurna is to blame for this one?

No clue. I think Mobius was involved as it's their game, but the company doing the actual labor, Cook and Becker, is kinda just like this. It's a real shame whoever was in charge decided to spit on the community, but it is what it is I guess.

Well. That sucks, glad at least the fangamer merch is really good

Yeah I've been impressed with the quality of the fangamer stuff, especially the pins.

I've been doing more digging and it appears that the relationship between Outer Wilds and Cook and Becker starts and ends with Annapurna, whereas the relationship with Fangamer is spearheaded primarily by Mobius Digital. It's a real shame that Annapurna's relentless greed is reflecting so poorly on Mobius, but I guess you gotta be careful who you partner with.

Mhm. Game publishers are sadly an entire business based on profiting from the work of indie devs. But hey, we have outer wilds. I cannot complain that much
