So I noticed Beasts of War today and I posted on the fact they are covering 40k 6th edition rumours whilst a certain company increases prices and yet BoW continues to defend that company! Will anyone every offer good consumer advice for Wargaming advice, will anyone ever be a voice for us gamers or are we condemned to fan boys being big in the community? I noticed Bluetable painting doing it as well, it is supposed to be advice BUT, they look at it from their point of view, not looking out for what a regular person can afford or the practices of each company. Anyway, here is my post, do any of you guys agree?
I stopped playing early 2011 so this does not affect me, however, I feel this shows something about Beasts of War, this is pushed to the side whilst they post more about 6th edition that has not been confirmed, this is consumer advice people need along with the other things, talking about a rumour is alright in passing but the fact BoW has done so much coverage is ridiculous when things like this are pushed to a small side forum that is hard to spot. I liked BoW but this to me shows how corporate it has become in the last few years, it went from a cool place to see what's in a big ass box to 1 piece metal miniatures and acting like fans instead of professionals. Sorry BoW but unless you get your arses in motion I don't think I can support you any longer, I hope you can go back to what you used to do one day.
In lighter news though, The D6 Generation are still pretty good at consumer advice, not great but it is a good listen for the sensible gamer.
