@frankdrebin  “Whales” is a term that comes from the mobile video games industry. You probably know these “Free to play” smartphone games with micro transactions in them? “Pay real money for in-game-money”to get better gear, weapons or reduce wait times? Most players don’t spend anything or very little but a few players (the whales) spend an awful lot. We’re talking hundreds and thousands of dollars on mobile game. Companies want to keep those players happy and try to milk them of every cent. @tankkommander is comparing those with the “normal” GW fanboy that is buying *everything* no matter what. I hope that helped a bit.
