I love it, the gamers will become majority share holders, then we'll show them! Let's see. We need 7.5M share for majority, at about $460 a share... All we need is 3.4 billion. Maybe we can get a bailout?

Inmates running the asylum, anyone?

21,000 Dakka member, if each member put up only 160K each, Dakka could own GW!

Then the company would fail for sure as not everyone would want the same from GW. I sure as hell don't agree with a lot of the proposed changes posted here on Dakka or Warseer.

Board meetings would end up like threads like this. A whole lot of talking and "what if's" and "if I were in charge" but very little action.

Dude - $4.60 a share. The price is in pennies or cents. I mean, come on, Apple & Google are in the $100's per share category.

You do not need a majority share to make yourself known. If everyone bought 15 shares which is not much that is a start. You get a vote.

@fullhead - thank you for fixing the price, now fix ur quote.

But yeah, 7.5M x $4.60 = $34.5M

Or $1.6k for 21,000 buyers.


I don't know about you, but I'm not spending $1.6k on GW in any year.

But as above, who's going to get 21,000 Dakka members to agree on anything?

Well, the market cap is 87mm (GBP) and there are 31mm shares out there. Math makes that approx 2.50 GBP per shares. All shares are shown in pennies until the get to a certain amount and then it is shown in whole GBP. It just is. When you look at a proper listing with lots of shares listed on one screen you will see what I mean.

think about though - GW worth 3.4 billion! Then look at their balance sheet and their total assets.

Id love to buy that but thats more than i spent on GW total!

Well, I just made a mention of the boycott over on Whineseer. Anybody want to take bets on how long my post stays up? (Three Raveners for $44.50? Not bloody likely!!!)

I say 5 minutes before Mr. Censorship, err Brimstone takes it down.

If you don't put it up in News & Rumors, but the proper place...he won't take it down.

Just like they don't want you to put other company products into the 40k/Fantasy News & Rumors sections.

Just got a reply from "The Dude". "The people on Dakka would complain if it were $2 and came with a free Trygon."

You know, if you call the site "Whineseer" and admin "Mr. Censorship" publicly, it's not going to help things...

Ima jus sayin'

Posts get deleted by Brim on Warseer because idiots put them in the wrong spot.

As far as Whineseer I see way more whining over here than over there. I mean, 4 threads already about boycotting GW? Who's the whiners now?

So we're back to attacking Warseer again. Must mean this thread's about done.
