Catalyst Game Labs has made a lot of bizarre business decisions lately, turning off longtime Mech Warrior and Battletech fans from their products, but they’ve now released a statement showing trouble where they’re blaming potential tariffs and “economic uncertainty” for what appears to be upcoming troubles for the tabletop gaming company.
A truly international company would have an alternative location for manufacturing and shipping that is less affected by any one tax or tariff. Weak sauce blather from a small converged company that didn't really plan for anything at all.
The only thing Catalyst has said here is "we get all of our stuff printed in China."
Exactly! They need to find a domestic printer and enter a long-term agreement with them. Printing companies LOVE long-term agreements becuase of how volitile the market can be (since the early 2000's, not a recent development).
Yes. And there are printing companies that have branches on multiple continents, making shipping “local” instead of "overseas". No tears shed for Catalyst.

Sad trombone noises.

Step 1: Piss off your core demographic
Step 2: Insert Sex and Trans shit into your Game
Step 3: Core demographic leaves.
Step 4: Fire long time author
Step 5: Blame the government.
CGL are nothing but a bunch of crooks
Failures since they fired Blaine Pardoe (and even before then) during the Biden Regime cannot be Trumps' Fault. Reap what you've sewn, CGL...
Well it's a good thing I've never heard of, or care about these games.
This seems like a Death Screech and an attempt to sell before they file for bankruptcy, or get bought out........
Bro thinks we give a fuck what he thinks!!!
