As someone that works in print it is an all but dead industry. 70 percent of companies that were around when I started 20 years ago are now closed and there is so little profit in print that the companies that are left are constantly on the edge of collapse.
Especially for things like board games there are so many different processes involved including often some special processes to get to your final product. This sometimes means you need to employ more than one company to get everything finished properly.
All of these things add up to making it less and less profitable to do these things so the companies that still manage to release a quality product and manage to stay afloat have my utmost respect, it is tough!
