I highly doubt they are making much money, if any on it. Board game development and manufacturing is expensive in the U.S. especially for a one-off. A game with this many decks and pieces would probably cost an easy $100 in a regular retail environment, which is likely why the run is limited.
They have 30k members that collectively pay them $100k per month over patreon. Plus the large number of folks like me who listen on bootleg feeds and their public feed. I think that’s enough people that they can sell out a limited run of a board game.
They’re making money on it, so that’s reason enough for them.
Presumably, the few people that buy it will open and use it.

I expect a larger, less limited run for a higher price later on if this test run sells well. If this is a loss leader, it’s also a marketing gambit.
This is completely possible and a much more realistic analysis. We’ll see what they end up doing here.
Might sell decently in the UK as well 😆
Yeah, the TrashFuture audience would love this shit.
well, they’re charging money for it. Whether or not they make money sort of depends on whether people buy them

It’s certainly possible, but it’s also not guaranteed
