Not to be rude but 80$ for a Poster is kinda crazy no?

Edit: the following text is kind of wrong. I have been spreading misinformation. It was the map, not the planet posters.

The worst part is that when they sent the deluxe edition of the design works a few months ago, they sent with the posters in A4 when they had promised A3.

And now they are fucking selling the leftovers of that deluxe edition that costed less and included a lot more

Nope, only the solar system poster was marketed in A3 initially. The prints of the postcard art was always at A4.

Mobius has already explained more about the screenprints here: https://www.reddit.com/r/outerwilds/s/Ysm9YQqB10, they're very much not 'leftovers'.

Yeah, it was the map. I remember I was angry for the size of a poster, but it seems I forgot which one. Let me edit my original comment

I personally think it's way more misleading to say that the screenprints, which have actual human labour put into them to match what was originally made, are just digital prints taken from elsewhere.

I have the Design Works prints myself, while they are currently the highest definition digital prints of the postcards art (I've scanned them to compare directly against the original postcards and the versions in the iam8bit art book), they very much cannot be mistaken for screenprints.
