Cool theme, hope the game is good because you know the production value is going to be great.

Not a huge fan of Stonemaier. In talking with the designer of wingspan, they were purposely keeping the game scarce to limit the designer profits and try to make a buzz around the game.

Purely out of curiosity, would you happen to have a (news/blog/article etc.) source for this? While not a strict devotee of them, I've always found Stonemaier games to be on the more respectable side of the industry, so this seems somewhat atypical of their approach.

I am guessing that it may be referring to this. Note that the post is on the Stonemaier site so it's their side of the story. Some searching also turned up a later analysis in a BGG thread.
In a hindsight given the extremely wide distribution, HUGE number of copies sold and many followup products all of this doesn't seem very relevant.

Something doesn't add up here. If it were such a big deal, they're probably wouldn't be multiple expansions and another standalone Wingspan game
