Subject: Sigh, more Wargames Factory Drama (on TTGN)

Anyways WGF announced their greek hoplite set on TTGN. Then in the comments section, some ex WGF employees said something about that the sculptor who made these molds isnt getting paid and stuff for his work which obviously sparks controversy because TTGN is a public site where a lot of people can see this and comment making the place into a debate room. TTGN posted the following comment at the end of this article on what should they do about this
So what do people think is a solution for this sort of issue? Should posts by Wargames Factory have comments disabled as we had to for Confrontation topics for some time?

Sounds like a bag full of drama.
Any of it true?
If so, !@#$ Wargames Factory, I guess.
I don't understand why they would be such blaitent D bags, but then again, when you see some of thier sclpts it doesn't leave much to imagine...

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

Wargames Factory Drama? Say it isn't so!
There's really no way to tell whether it's true or just a smear by a disgruntled fan or ex-employee, short of WGF admitting to it or the sculptor coming forwards about it.

Don't worry, time goes by, WGF can change their company name and re-open and everyone will forget...
It's what CMoN did...

Such is one of the major issues with dealing with Asian production and management. There's no practical way to get legal recourse in these situations, just too costly to even try.
The sculptor himself might be too afraid to step forward and cause a stir since he needs to find work elsewhere.
Best thing to do is quietly tell other sculptors not to work with this company, and let it spread among that community.

Adam's Motto: Paint, Create, Play, but above all, have fun. -and for something silly below-
"We are the Ultramodrines, And We Shall Fear No Trolls. bear this USR with pride".
Also, how does one apply to be a member of the Ultramodrines? Are harsh trials involved, ones that would test my faith as a wargamer and resolve as a geek?
You must recite every rule of Dakka Dakka. BACKWARDS.

Yes, because none of the new companies starting up want to have as long a run as GW.)
No comparison between GW and WGF.
