I mean, think about it-- is it really worth the time, effort, and money for them to dub something like, oh, Super Dimension Century Orguss? Most of the people who want stuff like that don't really care for dubs anyway. I want my old, obscure stuff at a reasonable price, and if that means no dub, then that's what it means. XD
For the big stuff, they should definitely do a dub. I just think it's not worth it for the small releases. Apparently the companies don't think it's worth it either.

It has a dub for it, when it was release.
The only thing that I know that it had a sub-only format was when they showed it on the big screen.

Since it like... takes place in America and all that jazz.

Certianly Kirby Morrow and Johnny Yong Bosch aren't going to starve if say VIZ decides to go ahead and do a completely subbed title,they would find other work to keep the food in the larder.
Man all you people complaining about anime being licensed. At least anime has a CHANCE of being licensed, no matter how small. With Super Sentai and Kamen Rider all we get is watered-down American adaptations like Power Rangers and stuff. :\ What do you think the chances are of Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger (the show the first season of Power Rangers was based on) getting released in ANY form in America? Pretty much zero.

Not true, the price for licensing the anime is #1 and then dubbing.
The lower-demand titles couldn't fetch the same licensing fees in the first place.
Dubs bring the cost of the product up the most.
