@redscope What i wrote was ‘as indefinitely as they can’, which is not the same as ‘indefinitely’. Nothing i wrote excludes or implies that i expect or require a game or product line to remain static. Nor did anything i wrote imply that i expect a product to remain permanantly in stock and indeed i stated that “there were sporadic dearths of all of the [Android Netrunner] expansion[ product]s (and even occasionally of the core box set) that could last months but that didn’t matter to me”.

Some games lose something when they stop being supported by an/the authoritative organisation (and/or when they stop being supported by a wider community, which could be caused by, or be the cause of, no longer being supported by an/the authorative organisation) whether or not someone has the core parts of those games.
