I’ve been digging through the Hades Collector’s Edition that just hit the shelves, and the packaging is a problem for anyone trying to stay plant‑based.

• The booklet is printed on "Fine Grain Parchment Paper" (spec: SG‑P-2000). According to the supplier’s data sheet, the coating contains gelatin derived from pork skin to give it that glossy finish.
• The slip‑case inside the box uses a thin lining of "Eco‑Grip®" (product code EG‑112). Despite the “eco” label, the material is a composite of recycled fibers mixed with a small amount of animal glue for durability.
• Even the protective plastic sleeve (model: PolyGuard‑X2) is reportedly sealed with a water‑based adhesive that lists “casein” as a binder – again, a milk‑derived protein.

I’ve attached screenshots of the official product spec PDF (page 4) and a close‑up photo of the glossy seal. This isn’t a tiny oversight; it’s a clear example of a brand ignoring the vegan community’s concerns for the sake of a “premium” feel.

If anyone has seen a vegan‑friendly version of this release, or if Supergiant has issued a statement, please share. Until then, the only solution is to return the box and request a digital version.
