From the Players Society:
Hello,
Well I have had it confirmed to me from so many sources now, that I have to believe its true.
Andy Chambers has indeed been sacked from GW. The reason given being he was unable to meet deadlines for the new 40K system.
Also 3 top sculptors have also left GW, 1 leaving after GW tried to interfer with her personnel life.
Now, of course these are all second hand information so these may not be true, but what the h*ll do GW think they are playing at with Andy Chambers?
Ok, when a project does not run on time, its usual to remove the head guy, but I for one, know that andy would not be sitting around and doing jack all, and would be working as flat out as he could be to get the game right, and this is where I believe GW have fallen foul, they want a game out no matter what, where I am guesing that Andy wanted to make sure it was a gamers game without the usual GW flaws. GW could have put him on another project, relegated him to playtesting under a new manager but to sack him? Idiots.
Go into any GW store and have a look at every product. Every product somewhere has andy chambers in it. His skaven article for the 3rd edition sparked many new Skaven armies, he is one of the old game masters from which GW have developed. Loosing him is like loosing your right arm (assuming your right armed)
The sculptor one is a bit more intresting, but any company that tries to alter somones private life and goings on in that life should be reprimanded.
Thus it would seem one of the greatest ever game designers has left, with sculptors running after him, if GW can ever recover from this and become better, they would need a miracle.
I sadly believe that GW will be heading downhill from now on.
