@totsuzenheni No Company will support a game indefinitey. That is setting the bar too high. Games have to change, new versions will come out and product lines will need to be updated. Often that does not stop you playing the old game at all. You can still play the old Necromunda if you have a copy. You can still use the old models and just buy the new rules if you want.

The expection that a company will remain static and just keep making the same game and the same models indefinity is just not realistic at all. No game is “permanent” in stock at best you will get games which are re-printed but even those simple games get updates, new rules, different boards etc.

Everything has a shelf life that the product will be in stock for a limited time, but once you have the game and own it nothing is stopping you playing it forever.
