And yet, people will always play the "Game that killed the hobby".....what a shame.

That's actually incorrect. It won't be any of GW's creations that will kill GW's hobby, it will be the company itself, and the decisions the executives make.

Actually, I think both games will improve with GW out of the way - just look at how the community has taken Epic and Bloodbowl and improved upon both systems.

Agreed, I stand corrected.

I dont necessarily have hate for GW, just mass confusion. What theyre doing doesnt make since to me but it doesnt piss me off. I guess i have the advantage of having a fully built army that doesnt need added onto anytime soon and i dont live in the southern hemisphere. If i did Im sure id be pissed

What's up with the "southern hemisphere" part? I was under the impression that independent stockists based in the UK were prevented from selling outside of Europe all-together (including North America), am I correct on this?

You are.

However, in states in the southern hemisphere, stockists like Maelstrom and Wayland were ways of picking up GW product at lower prices, and without having to pay exorbitant shipping prices. We here in the States have sites like the Warstore and MinaitureMarket, and I'm sure Canada has a few sites as well (Miniwargaming?). So it's not so much a problem for the political 'Northern Hemisphere'.
