I'm rather new to this forum, so not sure if this is the right category for this question, and apologise if not. That said, I was checking Facebook, to see if GW would post pics of the new Eldar release, as they have done for prior releases. Nothing surfaced, so I searched for the page, and couldn't find it. Instead of the 'regular' FB page, they now only have an Interest page which features nothing but a Wikipedia blurb. Their Twitter account, @voxcaster, hasn't been updated in a while too.
I did manage to find the page for my local store, but beyound that.... nada. Any rumours/speculations?

As to my knowledge GW did shut down their main FB webpage shortly after trying to sue someone who used the words " Space Marine" in the title of their book.

GW have handed all official social media communication to their local team of GW Fulchester in the beautiful British town of Fulchester.
There're doing a great job at it.

It is gone. Instead of responding to criticism and trying their hand at PR, they simply shut down the method of communication, effectively plugging their ears, "Blah blah, we can't hear you!"

Also the same week they told every online retailer they cant sell their stuff anymore and told all retailers they cant sell outside their countries.

Rick Priestley said it best:
Bryan always said that if the studio ever had to mix with the manufacturing and sales part of the business it would destroy the studio. And I have to say – he wasn’t wrong there! The modern studio isn’t a studio in the same way; it isn’t a collection of artists and creatives sharing ideas and driving each other on. It’s become the promotions department of a toy company – things move on!

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

Aye. I was wondering if there was something out there I missed, but if they've just removed the page... alas.

This is a much better place to get news on upcoming releases, anyway.

I think this has been covered several times. To discuss the shut down please feel free to look up an old thread or start a new one in Discussions.
Cheers.
