Long time board game publisher Mayfair Games (English-language publisher for Settlers of Catan and many more) has shut down.

All of their games have been sold to Asmodee North America, who also own Fantasy Flight Games, Z-Man Games, Rebel, Edge Entertainment, and a host of other board game companies they've picked up over the years.

[Ed Note - Asmodee NA also picked up Lookout Games at the same time. Lookout was the publisher of Agricola and Caverna.]

    with the exception of Wizards of the Coast with their very, very expensive collectible card game, Magic the Gathering, that made them a huge pile of money. (Can you afford to sink $10k into a card game? No? Then stay far away from MtG!)

    Hey now -- you're only going to spend that much money if you're one of the 100 or so people still playing Vintage. A top-tier Modern deck is only going to set you back like a max of 3k. And Standard is like $400 a year top-end.

    That being said, yes it is a money pit, and yes WotC pretty clearly likes printing money from the way they go about it.
