I'm also hoping Hasbro buys GW. That way the elitist richards will finally have to come to terms with just playing a boxed table top game.

As long they give us the choice to make our miniatures and/or bring back the specialist games, I am kind of okay with that.

An ownership by hasbro would likely give you neither of those. Hasbro ownership would probably result in a line of toys, some board and video games and maybe a prepainted game a'la the Star Wars CMG.

I'm not GW fan, but the GW IP is in much better hands with GW than with Hasbro.

So as we all know GW who has been the emperor of wargaming over the last 20 years or so is starting to decline. Even tho amongst the wargaming community Warhammer is still going strong I have noticed people turning away from GW games and wargaming in general. How does everyone feel about the state of our hobby? Do you think it's on a major decline, or do you think because of the amount of new games out there it's going through a phase of evolution?

Wargaming was there before GW, it will be there after it dies the death of 1000 cuts.

The wargaming hobby as a whole has never been stronger. There is something for everyone, and there is no limit to where it is going.

Good point, but I really do not see almost any other gaming company buying the IP rather easily (well, realistically that is).

I think it is actually a great benefit that GW is declining slowly, or the market probably wouldn't be able to take the influx of old GW players.
