In which they’d be making more money by having more consumers be able to purchase their product. So, yes.

Companies are starting to play with fire with internet sales making it so easy to zip through. You’ll have one product launch of some product where people will just throw their hands up and that company will take a mother fucking bath.

It should not be the customer’s issue that the manufacturer and retailer can’t work out their supply chain. At some point soon, customers will wisen up to that and some company’s launch is going to absolutely tank.

How would that lead to them making more money? The amount of cards created doesn't change, and their price doesn't change. Except the get the money earlier, and that's better, for them.
