When in hand stock is depleted, some of these products will not get another print run under these conditions. Also, if there is a small studio which you enjoy or wish to support, do so now. It's entirely possible they will not exist in their current form shortly.The only other thing consumers can do from a purchasing prospective is to get comfortable with and advocate for digital product. But expect their costs to also go up, as not only will this happen to try and stem the bleeding of lost sales, but it's generally apparent that most digital published game materials are sold at a loss and that is going to have to end.Otherwise, my recommended course of action is to practice critical thinking and apportion blame accurately. The majority of games publishers are small or even micro businesses. Don't let the 300lb gorilla that is Hasbro confuse you. Many games we love are made by like four people out of their kitchen. And they are about to close their doors. Yes, forum rules ask that we not make this political. That's fair. So when you are done here, you have two choices, either to accept all this, or to speak up. Have some grace to your fellow travelers and gamer please, but hold people to account.Good luck all. I have a deep an abiding love for this hobby and make no mistake, it is about to be tested by fire.</blockquote>
