Business model
Each game published and distributed by Super Rare Games is only printed once with a hard limit on number of copies produced. New games are announced once a month. According to Perkins, the reasoning behind this is "when you release [too] much content, you lose the collectability of having a set".[1]
In a newsletter sent to subscribers on 27 March 2019, company lead Perkins announced a plan for Super Rare Games to increase the amount of units per release "from 3-4,000 to 4-6,000k" for the remaining titles in 2019.
