Reply To: Is NewGW returning to old ways?

I know I’m something of a ‘silver lining’ type of thinker but I think that GW returning to the ‘evil empire’ is good for the industry. Currently GW is the biggest ape in the jungle. The reality is that there are some really good sculptors, manufacturers and game creators out there. Those smaller product producers aren’t getting the market exposure they deserve and if GW sours the market enough they will get an opportunity for a bigger ‘slice of the pie’.

GW produce excellent miniature. Have an outstanding IP and are the gateway for many, if not most people into miniature gaming. But they are greedy, evil bastards. They screw over the entire southern hemisphere and do their best to restrict trade. They are cold-hearted pricks and anyone saying otherwise has not dealt with GW as a business entity. If you think they abuse hobbyists, you should see what they do to independent stockists! They treat independent stockists so badly that they leave you with Battered-wife/Stockholm Syndrome.
