Steve Jackson’s 2010 Report to the Stakeholders
While Steve Jackson Games Incorporated has but a single stockholder – namely Steve Jackson himself – Jackson has published an annual “stakeholder report” since 2004. As Jackson explains in the current report, “It’s a useful exercise for me, and I’ve gotten favorable feedback from all levels of the hobby. So here it is again.”
Jackson notes that the company’s gross sales for 2009 increased slightly over the previous year, falling just short of $3 million. One of the main reasons that gross sales did rise is that for the most part SJG kept Munchkin and its multitude of spin-off titles in print throughout the year. As he notes later in the report:
The Munchkin line, including the Munchkin Quest boardgame, accounted for nearly 80% of our revenue in 2009! It is now available in 15 languages, with one more licensed.
Wow.
