Primordia (the boxed edition) - a joke?
Anyone else that received their pre ordered boxed edition of Primordia that feel that it is a joke?
DON’T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE THE GAME AND WADJET EYE, but seriously the box and the CD of the game looks like a joke! It looks like some cheap Thailand illegal DVD copy of a game.
Why could they have not released the game like they did with the Resonance box? That box was beautiful and the disk looked nice too. I know that that boxed edition was 5 bucks more expensive, but still…

Not the greatest, but I’m not that bothered by it (mind you, I didn’t get the Resonance boxed version, so I have no way to compare).
The bigger problem for me was figuring out having to copy the bin file to my harddrive and rename it so that the installer could work.
I was getting a bit agitated I got sent a faulty DVD before I figured it out.
Still not great, though, that I had to do that and there was nothing on the disc to tell me that.
Hi everyone. Dave from Wadjet Eye here.
re: the package itself
We would have LOVED to have done a nice boxed edition like we did with Resonance, but like I reported on our newsletter and on the website itself - the boxed editions proved to be much too expensive and time consuming to produce, in addition to the shipping costs being prohibitively high (shipping costs rose to almost $20 from the US to Europe, in addition to the cost of the item itself). We did the DVD snapcase editions with every other game we launched, so we decided to go back to doing that in lieu of not doing a physical copy at all.
re: the installer bug
Argh. Yes. some others have reported this issue as well. It appears that a file was somehow renamed during the duplication process. If you got one of these disks, email me. I have an offer for you that might make up for it.

Once again, no hard feelings, I was just a litte bit disappointed with the packing and the disk. 
I had a little bit high hopes after the Resonance box.
Once again, keep it up with the great games. I’m looking forward to see more games from Wadjet Eye.

I’m honestly just glad to get something that I can put my shelf as long as it isn’t a disc in a paper sleeve.
Now this is customer service!
i am envious of how awesome that resonance box looks.
As a customer who bought both the Resonance and Primordia physical editions, it was for me very clear from the start that Primordia would have a simple DVD, not a fully boxed version.
Anybody else keeps also them shrink-wrapped? I already had the digital download anyway…
Max: Right! We’ll travel through this dimensional portal on the top of the bar!
Sam: That’s spilled beer, rockhead.
Max: Oh in that case ...
yeah…also knew it from the get go that it would be a simple boxed version.also i don’t have a thing for extras and just want it as a physical copy so worked pretty good for me.
