he mentioned that there was very little influence by FFG and none by Asmodee in terms of the creative output of the company

Ex-employee reviews of working at FFG posted online pretty consistently paint Mr. Petersen as a micro-manager. I'm sure the truth is somewhere in between.

GW may not have seen Dust as competition but may see X-wing as competition when they saw X-wings sales figures.

And the beer angle, most people set aside a budget for the hobby purchases and i would assume boardgames as well as miniature games belong in the same budget, so i would assume they would compete for the same money.

Except when you are a student then the whole budget is beer budget

But seriously, do you want a game where the normal size plays in less than an hour*? Do you want something you can carry around all you need for a day's gaming securely in a lunchbox-sized case? Do you want manufacturer-supported organized play like tournaments and scenarios so you get to meet a broader community, possibly travelling to other cities? Do you want to buy a new release and immediately get to use it our of the box? Do you want easy rules reference during play just by looking at the table? Do you want to have little downtime during play (meaning, you aren't standing around terribly long while your opponent does things)?

If any of those things are priority issues for you, then GW is not currently selling a product that meets your needs. The (non-)wisdom of that strategy is kind of self-evident, but it's their strategy.

When you state it that way it makes perfect sense.

I agree, I think this was done by ffg for several reasons.

Sorry, but there was just far too much product in development at FFG, and hence already having money spent on it, for that to be true. It could only have come from GW.

FFG may have decided to stop throwing good money after bad. Theres no way of knowing.

That and lead times on projects is usually a year or longer out and decisions to keep or drop something can be made from the most recent income report, the most recent contract negotiation, or the whim of the board. We're talking about a massive company (Asmodee), not the one-room schoolhouse that is GW.

If anyone is still looking for anything for Talisman, chaosorc.com has some stuff left, like the highly sought after Reaper expansion.
