Well I am not sure you understand what indefinitely means in that case.

Companies will keep products as “long as they can” That long is defined as being limited either by the product providing a profit to keep it going or does it just have a defined shelf life.

Indefinitely is the opposite of limited it means it has no time limit, no limit to it at all. So that is what you suggested

“collect it over time at my leisure is”

You made this statement as well above. If the product is limited then you dont get the option to buy at your leisure you have to buy it during its limited run. Both aspects cannot be true.

You use Necromunda as an example that came out 1995 and is still around today. Even if you take the current version that came out in 2017 and is now 4 years old and still going strong. If you have not decided after 4 years to pick the game up likely you never will.

What you seem to be asking from the companies is to work sololy to a time scale of your choosing which just is not how the real world works.

Everything has a limited time and if you really want it go out and buy because you dont know if it will be around in a month, 6 months or 2 years even the companies making the games dont know that far in advance in a lot of cases.
