All the good ones go out of print so fast.
And that SUCKS.

Yes it does, but it isn't so bad as it looks. I found out in the mid 80s when the Bond RPG died out due to lisencing issues. My solution was to pick up a few extra copies to have on hand for backups.
It really doesn't matter much if a game is out of print if you like it and play it. It just means that there is no more support. At least officially. Now, thanks to the internet and desktop publishing, many RPGs get some excellent fan made support. For instance there is a "fake"
From Russia With Love supplement for Bond and a few on-line
Q Manual 2's. I did up a bunch of stuff for the game myself.
So it's not all black and darkness.
And recently a few RPGs have come back from the dead.
