Reply To: GW: Why do they do it?

Why ?
Because they can

Because no one stops them

Because it is legal

It sucks … and every single company would do the same thing if they had the marketing dominance that GW has.
Heck, I’d argue that the supply issues for Starwars Legion would have been solved if FFG/AMG wanted to do so.
Especially with pre-orders it should be a piece of cake to supply everything, because that is kind of what pre-orders were supposed to be : an early order so demand and supply could be perfectly matched

Instead we get no assurance or guarantee that the pre order will be full filled at all.
To make matters worse … there is no law that prevents this and even if there was then the current circumstances would be the answer these companies would give because it is impossible to provide proof positive that they deliberately made life difficult for consumers.

I’ve practically given up on Starwars Legion as a result …
The only reason I haven’t given up on GW is because it may be the only system I can find opponents for. I kind of doubt that non GW games have as big a community outside of our niche (and if they are out there … they are tricky to find).

Remember :

Companies are not your friends!
The people that we as consumers get to deal with may be as passionate about your hobby as you are, but the company itself only sees you as a wallet on legs.
