    I think you nailed it. Its all about sales and $$. I wouldn't think that a non-licensed game would be much cheaper to produce.

    Quoted from Rarehero:

    Why would it still be in production if it wasn't selling? Games that didn't sell well quickly went to the Out of Production page, even if distribs still had stock.
    Pinside probably accounts for ~5% or less of NIB buyers. Just cuz no one here is talking about it doesn't mean it's not selling. A non-hobbyist with a gameroom who wants one game might get Avatar. We'd never hear about it here....however, it is the top grossing move ever made & it hits all demographics (male/female/adults/teens/kids)...it's certainly a game that would be appealing for a family gameroom. It's a good location game (top theme, low maintenance) & has worldwide appeal. They could be selling a ton...just not to this particular community.

    Maybe because they still have cabs, PFs, parts, etc. still sitting around. Might as well keep it "in production" until you run out of the components. Who knows.
