People should not expect to see wholesome changes in a whim, just because the CEO was changed. They did it with AoS and the backlash was enormous. They'll do it slowly with 40k, and I'm in agreement with them.

Unfortunately, this is the internet. Unless GW showers us with 90% discounts, near-perfect rule updates by the second, and weekly tournaments with great prizes and no entry fees (and all of this immediately overnight), they will continue to bash GW, if nothing other than not being "fast enough".

Which, again, is why I'm also in agreement that it's gonna be a slow and progressive change. We've waited nearly a decade for this change, I think we can wait another for it to actually happen.

Also Rountree has had his own mistakes too, namely every the Varaguards, overpriced AoS monster sets, more overpriced individual sets, continuing the whole "screw Australia, New Zealand and Canada" policy and such. But if all we do is complain they won't see that we do appreciate the things they did right, like Start Collecting Boxes, the FAQ (the act of making a FAQ, not the actual FAQ itself, just to be clear) and boxed games (the Renegade game was actually pretty fun for a single-paged ruleset. One wonders why AoS had such a rough start). Which is why I will throw money at them, but only throw it at the stuff I like.

Just hating is even easier than saying "haters gonna hate." Its the easiest thing there is.

Mark the names of users who say they wont be satisfied by anything else than fixing the game. If the rules get revised as rumoured and improved on an objective level, even if not perfectly, watch if these same users are still repeating themselves.

If so, you know they wont be satisfied with anything else than subjective perfection, something that is never coming. That means, that they are doing what they do for nothing really, and what they want will never exist. Quite the purgatorial existence I'd say. And for what gain? Nothing.

Lets wait and see.

I've seen it before for a decade, from edition to edition. Its quite... sad? Certainly meaningless.
