There are groups who are playing 3rd Ed 40K now. So theoretically, if GW had closed 10 years after 3rd Ed 40K, these guys would still be playing 40K. So if they do close tomorrow, perhaps 7th Ed can continue for a while more. If they close in 10 years, then I guess we'll be playing 12th Ed for a while more. Even right now, with no model support nor rule support, there are still people playing BFG.

ok so ie been reading a few of the articles on here and honestly im a little worried to say the least

im a sophomore in college and money isnt a problem but i dont have tons of it either so i really cant afford to wast mney buying another army for a company that will fail in 10 or so years

the reason i say ten years is because the remainder of my college will last another 6-8 years and i plan on slowly building and painting another army during my free time.

with my situation presented here is my issue. I already own about 2700 of eldar and 5000 of various fantasy armies im about to start an Ultramarines army and fully planned ill easily spend 600-900 dollars on all the vehicles infantry, characters, basing supplies, and paint

for me thats a HUGE amount of money that ill slowly spend thorough the years and in all honesty i dont wanna waste my time. Now id prefer that the GW or Ultramarine haters dont post henestly your wasting mine and your time but if anyone has an honest opinion i would much appreciate it because if i shouldnt start another GW army, then id very much like to know why and where else i should look for a good game.

I doubt GW is going anywhere any time soon, something that nice about the models is that they will still have a use years after you buy them. Were something like most magic cards tend to become irreverent as they get replaced by newer and better stuff.
