I think that Games Workshop also benefits in that, for better or worse, there are multiple avenues to engage with them.

You can play their games which is buying into the rulesets. You can get their models, either to play said games or something else. You can get your paints and tools from the. They sell fiction based on the worlds that comes from this.

Now some of us might argue that one of these are the best example of any of these but they are somewhat uniquely placed to be a one stop shop for the new hobbyist. Even when people go elsewhere a lot of people stay attached to the company in some way. Take myself for example, I never buy Citadel tools, rarely the paints anymore and don’t play the rulesets but I buy the minis because they are are cool toys representing the fiction and I buy the stories for the same.

Few other companies have so many different means to interact with customers so “walking away from the company” is much more straightforward with the smaller compa ies where they may only have one of two lines of product.

In that way I imagine a lot of people stay with GW, even when they move away.
