GW Follies

Posted by Ranillon on 7. December 2009 09:38

I'm sure some of you may have already seen this, but it was too good not to post to pass along the word.

Inkygirl did this in response to GW's latest jihad against fan made materials.  I am usually more willing than many to cut GW a break in such matters, but they sure do seem to go out of their way to anger their best customers.

Something like this happens on a regular basis and despite the numerous complaints GW seems to go on without changing or even big effect.  Yet, sales are down and shops are closing all across the business, not just in miniatures but gaming in general.  Likewise, GW prices continue to skyrocket.  I fear that in the end something is going to have to give.

After all, wasn't there a time when TSR looked like the unstoppable juggernaut in Role-Playing?  Now it doesn't even exist.  I hope GW is paying attention.

    The lesson they seemed to have learned is, if you close a bunch of shops and fire a bunch of people, you can hire more lawyers.  Problem with having a bunch of lawyers is, especially after a bunch of firings, is they seek ways to look important no matter the impact to the company's bottom line.
