For those who have been living under a rock and don't know why I'm asking this question, GW has in the last 2 weeks:
1. Changed to a cheaper casting material yet increased prices up to 30%
2. Embargoed independant retailers from selling outside of Europe to force people in the rest of the world to pay much higher prices locally
3. **Disclaimer, rumour only** GW want to force independant retailers to only sell at RRP and not offer discounts
4. Issued a C&D to a company for making a model whose head is apparently too similar to the head of a model GW haven't made for 15 years (a minor point in the grand scheme of things, but still...)
5. Enforced total secrecy on all new releases, no more than 1 weeks warning of new product, WD subscribers to not get the magazine until after it is on sale in shops
For myself, this 2 week gakstorm has finally driven me away from GW after 23 years of loyal (if increasingly frustrated) custom - I feel genuinely gutted but you have to draw a line somewhere. Following a chat with the other guys I play with regularly, we're all going to start something new (not decided what yet - Warmahordes is current favourite) so thats at least 4 customers lost.
We all know that only losing customers will force GW to change, but how many of you will actually give up?
1. Ask yourself this would you have a cheaper, metal mine that gets broken every time it falls over or more expensive mini that doesn't get broken as easily?
2. If you see a man gettting shot and you deside not to help him then don't expect help when you get shot.
3. rumours are rumours
4. Hmm interesting so ips dont get old and this is new news?
5. So no longer we get to know every new codex's unit before hand and this is bad how exactly?
