Look at what supervision with Cruddace and his cronies did with 10th. That alone should be your sales pitch to get someone remote that doesn't want the game to suck.

Nah, I'm good thanks, I don't want a game written by someone sat in a room on their own with literally 0 playtesting but against themselves and the pleasure of paying more to cover overheads for it.

Pretty dire way of running a game making business. After 10 editions you finally advertise for someone to fix the broken mess of a game.

What's more sad is that we all keep buying the editions they spew out.

Do you honestly think they don't employ any game developers currently?

When the first tournament played after release showed how broken it was... then, mmm, I do wonder.

It certainly hasn't been playtested and having played 40k since the late 90's, I feel the game is in a dire position. Polished looking yes, but bad from a gaming point of view.

Wasn't v8 running on those initial Index books considered a pretty tight version prior to codex creep? Version 10 should currently be in the exact same position if it had been developed and playtested well.

American exceptionalism at its finest folks.

Once again, you aren't thinking about how populated the states is. If GW didn't have the stipulations in place just so they could hire a yesman, population alone means you'd find a much better candidate than someone in England.

Look at it this way. England's population is 56mill. The state of California alone is 39mill.
If a few dudes in a basement can complete a more cohesive ruleset with One Page Rules (and I'm certain they're American but I could be wrong), it shows how little GW cares about looking for a candidate that's actually right for the job.
