Shhh.... they get blamed for everything else by the GW Bashers so maybe we can get this and the Kennedy Assassination pinned on them too!

Figures. That explains the prices and marketing tactics, then.

The difference being that I (for instance) don't use MS products at my home unless required to by a client or job.
My machine doesn't have an MS OS and doesn't use any MS apps.
Yet people still play GW games, use GW figs, buy new GW products and still complain rather loudly about the company.
Odd really. That whole "love/hate" thing.
Frankly I don't really mind the company nor how they run their business and if it ever got to the point where I did I'd just stop buying their products and move on.
It almost seems like complaining about GW is more of a hobby for some people than the games :-)

Hi!
The chagrin mostly comes from the comparison of GW's business techniques from, say 10 years ago, compared to now. I retailed when GW was up and coming and left retailing a year before they dumped the US distribution chains and went direct. I definitely pity those retailers who have to deal with them nowadays. I can see why more stores choose to drop their line, they can be very difficult to deal with.
I dont mind or begrudge their right to profit. They are a corporation and they have a duty to their stockholders. My beef's with GW all have to do with how badly they handled epic40k, killed epic as a core game and to this day STILL refuse to admit that they, not the fans, has brought epic to its current state.
Epic will continue, in some shape or form, but there are those of us that remember when epic was a core game, releases were plentiful and players easy to find.
So, I guess at the core, my bemoanings are just really nostalgia of what once was and is no more and that I REALLY wish GW would give the game the resources it deserves.

I wasn't really involved in GW games for the better part of seven or eight years (for a long series of reasons) so I really did miss all the drama.
Especially the whole Epic40K release.

Personally, I don't hate GW. They choose to charge relatively high prices for their products and I choose to buy their stuff elsewhere. Fair's fair  . Anyway, without them a whole series of great games wouldn't have been released
As for Epic40K, look on the bright side. It meant lots of cheap and well sculpted epic minis went on sale cheaply if you were buying secondhand!

It was that sale which got me back into GW games...
I spent loads of money that half-price week._________________ Jimbo

Hi!
It was that sale which got me back into GW games...
I spent loads of money that half-price week.
|
You and me both!
Those were the largest purchases I have ever made to GW direct. I got tons of griffons, leman russ, bombards and even gargants for 2 bucks, 3 bucks and in case of the gargants 5 bucks for the box!
Those were the days......
