Yep, CGC may actually be the only one survivor if the market stays down for several years.

Whatever version of MMr has a 10K+ market value. It's hard to understand from a business point of view why CGC has not produced any recently if they still have the license to do so. Same for AFM et MB. Why would they invest in developing new titles when the market is still in hungry for these 3 titles with zero R&D costs?

Production issues, and or rise in costs/drop in profit margin which is why anyone tries to farm out their production somewhere else.

It's basically a sign that whatever they were doing doesn't really work or has issues for sustainable growth.

Most times companies do this when its already too late...  :P

the general post covid want want want pricing surge is going to take a hit with inflation soon, i personally starting to see a trend on used item prices dropping as people are pinching pennies, but many pinch pennies during the holidays, so will have to wait a few more months to see what the financial outlook comes.

Pretty common with businesses... everything tends to be cyclical.

When things are going great you can get away with allot of mis-management and still make it work, during good times companies tend to get sloppy and have no ability to reign it in to survive a downturn.

Human nature is to try and fix something well after it was needed.

My hope for them is this is a proactive move and not a last ditch one but my guess would be it's more of a hail mary.

No one can make any sense of the economy because at this point it literally makes no sense.

Bullshit rules and the answer to every problem is to hit the money printer and pump out more money (with nothing to back it up of course).
