Obviously I don't hence why I asked. Of course, the important part of this reply is the was. Merritt was in charge of canon. He is no longer with the company and his views are no longer relevant.

It hasn't been contradicted, and GW has added references it to current codecies.

There are parts of content written for licensed products like certain Xenos or the Blood Ravens that have been added to what is considered to be 40k canon, yes but it is not a blank cheque, and it is not accurate to say that everything found within the FFG RPG's is considered canon.

But, since you're winding up to argue that nothing out of print is canon, I'll point out that it's not unknown for currently in use codecies to be out of print. Or, do you think that when the webstore stops selling it, it magically leaves canon?

Out of stock and out of production are not the same thing.

And, you guys are still evading my point. Stop blowing smoke.

The point being what exactly? Dakka isn't all bad but it is by no means the premier place to discuss 40k and other TTWG.
I'm also not white-knighting for GW I'm just calling you out on your BS.

Well as a white knight shill branded person based on my opinions, I voted true.

GW have had some high and low points over the years, but as much success as they are having, I honestly think it's built on the backs of long time players and it's also smaller than it could be.

They've slipped out of main chain toy shops for the most part, the cost has moved away from what a child/teenager can drop on any form of regularity. They've whored the license out to too many shovelware game developers and maybe held too tightly to the controls of their IP, when perhaps less favourable deals with bigger names would have done more good.

Resounding success, no doubt, but I think they sold themselves short.

I think you are missing the point. The issue is not so much whether dakka is representative of other forums, as whether forums at all are representative of the wider customer base.

For every Space Marine or Battlefleet Gothic, there's a Lost Crusade or Horus Heresy: Drop Assault. That being said not all mobile games are trash just the vast majority. It's a cursed chalice because, without the mobile games, I doubt there would be much push for good console/pc games although I think (as with most things Warhammer) the negativity spawned from the really bad stuff drowns out the really good stuff.

It isn't saying anything, I just like to mention it: From my local gaming club with about 20-30 active 40k and AoS players, I know of nobody else than me, who is actively posting on Dakka. The rest is consuming online ressources of course, but they don't engage in forums.

GW is undeniably financially successful. However, I can’t think of another company in tabletop gaming that shows as much contempt for its customers in every facet of the customer experience…Maybe CMON. So, yes, GW succeeds in spite of itself.

Also, this poll is in a GW ai forum where ex-customers of GW are unlikely to see it, so I wouldn’t consider it representative of the TT community views overall, but rather of a smaller, more positive subset of gamers.

Polls on forums are about the best you can do in lieu of professional marketing research... even if biases like, the fact that more people actively playing the game or hobbling are more probable to interact with these forums, and thus may have some sort of tendency to like the game product and company. Also, there are biases that people seek conflict and are more probable to comment on things they have problems with.

The argument of the validity of the data is hardly worth arguing without any other data to compare it to. The trends are still useful to observe as well.

So either produce your own empirical evidence of the feelings of the community or stop arguing the validity of the data.

GW is successful because they like every other successful company are making decisions that benefit the company. Their decisions are very well informed. The fact that we hate it but keep going back for more only proves it more.

What is odd, to me, though maybe it shouldn’t be, is that after all of these pages, and especially the past few in which some posters had been active in discounting the value of the varied opinions here, ‘toxic Dakka’ and so on, poll results are moving slowly and steadily True… currently 59 to 41 percent.

Yes, I think also that this thread and its poll results are valuable and interesting. Thanks for this.

Yes, yes, I misspelled his last name. I also used the past tense because I can't remember if he was still the head of IP development over at GW or had been replaced. It's been a while since I've even thought about him.

You offer survey results that for some reason include partially completed forms, from a source you note as "supposedly" relating to people's want to attend and purchase from 1 specific store. I don't buy from my local GW but it doesn't mean I don't think they're successful.

In the event that is *actual* data from the Chinese flagship store, which you can't validate, it just shows that the people voting don't want to go to or buy from an official GW. I don't think it has any bearing on this forum, poll or the success of the company.

Quick edit to tidy my thoughts up (I'm pretty tired): there's no frame of reference for who or what that poll was aimed at. As such it holds no real weight in any capacity, certainly not as an indicator of an "online community".

Umm,… dudeface, given that the poll results are valid concerning the official gw store in China, a rising market of well over a billion people with lots of extra young men with zero hopes of marrying, and without the thirty year background and anchor base of neck bearded hobbyists, it does seem to inform this thread, at least tangentially. I mean, it is certainly interesting to see those numbers, no? Do you really honestly think that Baron just made that up? Maybe drew the characters and fabricated the results just to make a point on this thread? I don’t believe that you really think that…

But then, what would count as having bearing on any of the above? For you?

I buy games workshop products, I play warhammer. I have no intent of attending events held at my local GW nor buying from them directly however, does that mean GW is failing because I'd select no to all of those?

Again unless you can source those poll results and the parameters for who completed the poll, it's essentially worthless.

Ok, fair enough. Note that the original question is not about gw failing, but rather that it succeeds in spite of itself. Can gw count on similar success in China given the validity of Baron’s poll results? I mean, let’s just assume that they are what they are supposed to be… what might be different about that market, and can this tell us something about what we might expect, there? Can GW afford to depend on succeeding in spite of itself there, if that is indeed what is happening, ‘here’?

I didn't collect them myself, and it's from China, so I consider it 'supposedly'. And, you can't actually 'attend' that store. Tiān Māo is a site like Amazon that makes up about 50% of China's online retail.

That's a better question and thank you for understanding my intent. As explained earlier it definitely succeeds in spite of itself in my eyes.

I'm not familiar enough with their Chinese presence to know how they're doing now, or what their plans are, but it's pretty uniformal for 3rd party retailers and FLGS to be the bulk of the sales for GW by and large. I'd imagine as with any niche largely socially eskewed product in a new environment, it'll take time to build up interest and a social base. So it's concerning to see those figures if relevant to anything, but I'm also not super surprised, again without knowing all the parameters and context it doesn't help much.

Their choice to eschew a lot of wider media giants to deliver their content in lieu of their own platform, combined with them being late to the game probably means rolling out a product into a new market for them is harder than it should be.

Again though, this relies on a "what if" on the data validity and context. But I think its time to hit the hay, I just hope by the next time I drop in it's not locked for inducing China-orientated political discourse.

Historically I bought a whole 1 warhammer item off amazon, they're more expensive generally than most other 3rd party retailers. No idea if the same applies over there however.

I've seen worse Chinese auto-translate copy-pastes. Just google "translation fails" to see a bunch of examples. Most of which are printed onto physical signs, let alone a website survey.

Oh for heaven’s sake. I’m genuinely done with this thread.

GW are massively hundreds of millions of GBP successful, year on year. And that’s entirely flying in the face of a relative handful of upset internet posters.

Simply put, GW are astoundingly successful. That success doesn’t care what said relative handful of upset internet posters thinks.

It is what it is.

Perhaps you have good reason to be upset. I don’t care. Perhaps you’re just an oddboy with an inexplicable axe to grind.

GW’s success is entirely off their own back. To suggest otherwise is basically calling those of us who buy whatever we damn well please “a bit thick”. As if we’ve been somehow hoodwinked into having the sheer temerity to enjoy this hobby we’ve sunk thousands into.

You don’t like it? Genuinely fair enough. I’m not gonna be a Richard about it.

But how’s about you, in turn, don’t be a Richard to those who, fully willingly, gladly chuck money at those of us who do happen to enjoy it?

Doc, that's a lovely rant you've got there, but pointing out that GW has been succeeding despite some really blockheaded decisions is hardly an attack on you, personally. Is it your fault that GW decided to jack their prices in China a reputed 26% recently? If so, then I could see it as an attack on you. In the mean time, stop flogging the drama llama.

It's not that GW is too big to fail, it's that they're too big to fail right now. Meaning that their current massive customer base and their current massive earnings afford them the ability to experiment, try new and different things and to a degree, screw up with little to no detriment. GW will need to see a continued downward trend in sales before they can realize they've done something wrong. Until that happens, it's going to be an unpredictable and at times uncomfortable ride.
