> With nobody else producing works with your characters & world, you are the sole source. If we think about supply & demand, we know what that means.

We do know what it means. It means the price will be higher. Be careful though, because price is not equivalent to profit. Selling a million copies for $10 each is much more profitable than selling a hundred copies for $1000 each.

And if derivative works bring publicity for the original it can drive sales and increase profits, even at the same time as it lowers prices.
