It does at the moment. The repercussions of that fire have had a massive impact on the finances of small companies like Shameless who weren't exactly rolling in it to begin with!
Trust me, they'd love to release this on BD but budgets are so tight they simply can't gamble on an investment like this. These are niche titles we're talking about. Even Blu-rays don't sell that many copies. They have a finite amount of money available so if Shameless did release a Blu-ray of this, it would impact on their ability to purchase other titles.
It's a sad state of affairs but it's more or less out of Shameless' hands since the fire has had such a big impact.

That may be, but Shameless could only afford to produce about a third or a quarter of the amount of copies on Blu-ray as they would DVD, since Blu-ray costs 3-4 times more per unit to produce. They only have so much money to invest.
