I also posted it to my blog, editing out all the unnecessary chatter (and was given
the okay to have it there with the original link)

AWesome information heh. At least its nice to hear from an official voice ;P

**malfred**

Matt Wilson is also all over the forums answering questions about this or that.

**Moz**

Oh ho, I see through this clever ruse of open protocol between the game designers and players. But I am not fooled.

I am not sure what I am not fooled about, but rest assured I am not fooled.

**Matt Varnish**

And the reason GW cant do this is?

GW designers are peons without the authority to answer anything without the okay from higher up. That means the suits to me.

At least that is the impression given by their FAQs and lack of interaction with the public.

PP is still private, so if they say things that are contreversial, they do not have stocks that can tank.

Complete speculation of course.

**malfred**

PP can lockdown their people as well. It has their suits. It would be crazy for them
to just let people say whatever they wanted to to its fanbase.

**skrulnik**

Yeah, but Matt Wilson posts and seems to say what he wants.

I remember the "STFU" rant he had awhile back.

If Jervis did that, GW would have to can him.

**Da Boss**

I have to say I don't appreciate some of what I've seen of Wilson's attitude.

But fair play to yer man for answering questions, and fair play to them for testing the game so well.

Spoken like a true Scientologist.

Wilson's ego and attitude are a well documented thing but in all cases, I appreciate a little transparency and getting it straight from the horse's mouth so to speak.

Kudos, PPS.

You mean Gav thorpe isn't interacting with us?
Oh wait.. he made a blog long time after he finished a dex loll...

Isn't it fair game if you're a scientologist?

Doesn't Gav post on the warhammer forum?

**malfred**

True. I guess that doesn't count, then.
