Greater Than Games, the publisher behind the superhero-themed Sentinel Comics RPG, has shuttered due to the ongoing tariff war between the United States and China. Flat River Group, Greater Than Games' parent company announced that they've reduced Greater Than Games' staff "in response to ongoing economic pressures resulting from the international tariff crisis." Additionally, all new projects from the publisher are suspended due to the tariff situation. However, Flat River Group will keep Greater Than Games' website open for the time being, with in-stock products available and current catalog products produced "as needed."
While Greater Than Games is best known for publishing Spirit Island and Sentinels of the Multiverse, they also published Sentinel Comics, a superhero RPG set within the world of their Sentinels of the Multiverse games. The global tariff war has impacted board game publishers, most of whom rely on Chinese manufacturers to produce games. Some RPGs are also produced in China or printed by other overseas publishers, thus making them eligible for the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in recent weeks.
