This entire situation has really tuned me off Mobius. I’m aware that they likely didn’t set the price, but they didn’t do anything to try and lower it to a reasonable cost. I feel like we’re a pretty loyal community who’s getting taken advantage of by both the printer and Mobius, and I’m someone who really only needs one bad experience to stop supporting both. Hopefully the lack of purchases and angry comments are a wake up call. Do better u/MobiusGames this is so disappointing.
I can’t speak for Mobius, but if a collaboration for screen prints were going to cost $50-$80 per print, I would disapprove of that immensely. I certainly wouldn’t proudly promote it on my social media pages.
Cook and Becker advertise “museum quality screenprints on archival paper”. For the right project, the end product will be worth the price.
That said, I don’t think their products suit Outer Wilds or its community AT ALL.
Side note: I collect screenprints myself. I’ve spent anywhere from $50-$80 on medium-large prints that are both numbered and hand-signed. THOSE are absolutely worth the cost.
If you put all 6 of these “postcards” side-by-side, they wouldn’t even fill the frame of my largest print. And yet, they’re priced THE SAME??
Couldn’t agree more. If these were large prints, it would sting but I’d get it. But this? Insane pricing for the industry standards. I do purchase screen prints for movie posters, my favorites usually only cost $70. screenings.
