They would have to switch vendors (and print larger quantities) for nubs at the corner.
If you like Revolution Games products like me, you probably noticed that the counters for the 1066 series are different than those from Thunder in the Ozark for example. The 1066 series is printed in much smaller quantities at a time (100' I believe) while the Thunder in the Ozark was at least 1,000 copies. The quantity alone affects which technology is economically feasible.
If you play Euro style games, you know that Fantasy Flight Games counter quality is much better than any I have seen in a wargame. The advantage of very large print runs.
Considering Avalanche games go in and out of stock quite frequently, I suspect the subsequent print runs are a few hundreds.
Academy Games gets my vote for the best counters (and maps) in their Conflict of Heroes series. Their counters punch out clean with rounded corners, have great graphics, are thick, and they give you a beautiful tray to hold them all. But the catch is that a game has 35 counters per sheet with 5-6 sheets per game, not 280 counters per sheet. So, I guess we'll just have to deal with those nibs, wherever they may decide to put them.
