I have been playing GW games for over 25 years,Yes they are expensive,yes they treet their customers like poop,if you you go to their shops.here is part stickingup for GW and the CEO.
number one, The company does look out for the welfare of their employees,with the econmony being bad.They shut down overseas facilities and brought the jobs back home.
Also at one time they shot Wal mart down from selling their goods.So to help the little guy from going under.Like what happened to alot of small business here in the U.s
Number two,They are the status quo for all wargaming companies,Thet are number one for a reason.
Number three, to all you GW haters that whine like a bunch of little girls.Quite buying and using their products and Subsidrary company games.That includes rule systems,Minatures,Novels etc.If you are so Anti GW why do you people use their rule systems.( Blood Bowl has a bunch of GW haters but they still play their game.Bunch of Hipacrits).
So feel free to leave a comment defending GW against the haters.Me personally,I think that the model ranges are the best that they have ever been with all the new big kits.
There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.
Here's some advice I figured out that helps me on the internet and in real life. Don't let things bother you. The more open you are about your passionate feelings, the more likely you are to get trolled.

Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a forum, I should really just relax..."

???
So what are we talking about here? Hating GW, or hating on the hating, of the hating of.... the hating of gw?
Finished off that last squad of DA, now on to the last mob of orks. then, as they say?
GW's done, son.
Your points are noted, though. Not correct, but noted.
We need more posts in the "Good news" thread that I wrote. Talking about the big mean GW's B.S. is bringing me down again.
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

I've been eating Jimmy Dean Sausages for 25 years. Yes they are expensive, yes they are unhealthy, if you eat them for 25 years. The company does look out for the welfare of their employees,with the economy being bad.They shut down overseas sausage making facilities and brought the pigs back home. They are number one sausage sellers for a reason.
To all you Jimmy Dean Sausage haters that whine like a bunch of little girls, yes I'll probably die at 39 of a blocked artery, but if your so anti Jimmy Dean Sausages then find me another sausage thats just as delicious.
So feel free to leave a comment defending Jimmy Dean Sausages against the vegans. Me personally, I think the pork is the best they've ever made.

Just a few things: Whoop, they helped out a few small shops by shooting down Wal-Mart. That means what to me?
Also, and I may not be sure in this, but were GW importing games to the States 25 years ago? Dont shoot me down, I'm just not sure. Only been playing 20 years myself you see And if you are going to try and defend the indefensible, please try and get your basic spelling and grammar correct. It's only polite.
1: They are number one because they have been at it longer than any other current Wargames Mini Maker.
2: By 'bringing the jobs back home' I presume you mean the UK? I only ask this because they are a British company. First store was opened in London in the late 70's I believe.
3: You said yourself that they treat customers 'like poop', if that is the case then why are you still frequenting thier stores?
4: GW seems content to implode. This is not a good business model. The blanket ban on any new realeases info, even to the staff in the B&M stores, is a joke. As is the embargo on other retailers selling GW stuff to the Antipodes. And before you say anything, GW:UK and GW:US still ship to Australia and New Zealand.
This is rank hypocrisy. (Please note the spelling)
Not only is it hypocrisy, it's greed. If you have been playing and dealing with GW for a quarter of a century then surely you remember that they used to value your custom? Not bend you over and metaphorically ram you up the ass?

TL;DR.
Try to format and spellcheck your posts better in future, they'll give your rants more credibility.

If you break apart my or anyone else's posts line by line I will not read them.

Only because they have held a virtual monopoly for the non historic table top wargaming hobby for more than two decades, which isn't true anymore. Nothing more, nothing less.

You are under the assumption that anyone who has a legitimate complaint is;
1) Just ranting, which marginalizes their legitimate complaint for no other reason that you don't like the fact they are right and/or
2) Is still playing the game, even though we give no indication that we do. Just because be may have a gripe with GW doesn't mean we still use their products. After 23 years of patronizing GW's products I have stop buying any of their products cold turkey, and will not be playing any of their rule systems again.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
I'm still going to read the novels. Mostly because I already have them all on my Kindle and havnt got round to reading them yet.
I agree with buffo btw, it was awfully presumptuous of you to think that I still play with and collect GW stuff. I rant against them because they have lost all semblance of what made them a nice company to deal with in the first place.

Terribly good of a typical American to care about British jobs.....or could he be one of those stereotypical Americans that believes that anything "Good and Great" in the world must have originated in the USA.....no that can't be right, cause everyone knows that everything "Good and Great" in the world came from GW!

Thank you Phototoxin
Now all is clear to me. Your post made me realise what has been going on at Willow Lane.
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.
They are doing their level best to make the company go down the pan but the efforts just make the firm get stronger
Life imitates art yet again!

I'm not sure dude, could he be one of those Americans that have never left the State that they were born in? if thats the case then obviously he thinks that all things awesome and good are American, like the flushing toilet, the car, tv, radio, trains, air travel, electricity etc etc.

Hey some of us are sick and tired of folks like yourself defending GW no matter what they do. They could kick puppies and steal candy from babies and folks like yoruself will STILL defend them.
Suck up and deal with it. If we have to listen to the fan boys defense, you have to listen to the haters.
Hope more old fools come to their senses and start giving you their money instead of those Union Jack Blood suckers...
