@slayerofworlds name a single business that managed to get a perfect record of ‘just enough’ items at any launch …

It simply is not possible.(period)
At best they do a second wave (and a third one and a 4th one, etc) to complete the orders, but there is not a single one that got it perfect at launch … unless the product flopped and they overstocked.

This is not a product any sane retailer or manufacturer would want to sit idle on their shelves for any amount of time.
It is too expensive for that sort of thing.

This is not GW being GW.
This is any sane business doing what is best for them.
And if the choice is between ordering 1,000 products for a possible 1500 customers (and risk telling customers they can’t get it at launch) and ordering 1500 items for 1000 customers (and risk 500 units in stock for months) then I know what 99% businesses would pick … and it’s not looking good for customer satisfaction I can guarantee.
The only reason they’d ever pick the second option is if storage space is practically zero and/or the margins are ridiculously high that they expect to sell it before the stock becomes too expensive to maintain.
