edonil Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Sounds good, G'night Monkey. That might actually be their response at this point. I read an analysis that said lowering prices at this point might just finish them off because of some weird decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 It actually was if you read their responses to their stock dip and read between the lines Im hoping a real miniatures company snaps up the IP if they fail, but Im worried a gaming company will instead.

edonil Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 (headdesk) Couldn't just leave it alone, could you, GW...bad enough where the problem is at, but I don't think making it worse is a good solution either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Shine Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Their idea of "we're a minis company, not a game company" just isnt holding up. They need a serious dust up with their dev team. Its probably rumour mongering, but I've read way too much on them basically just having free reign to do whatever; so armies they like get better, armies they dont get rush jobs. Need to invest in proper rules developers not just "well, theyve been here the longest, so they are the best. Guaranteed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 The problem is that GW is immune to the thought that they're bad at anything. Well, aside from underpricing their product and poor continent wide management, apparently. o.O Until GW realizes that other companies out there are providing real, actual competition to their market, they won't improve. But that would require them to think that the hobby is 'wargaming' not 'Games Workshop' and that isn't what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Shine Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Justin: do not go to GW, you are too good at rules development to waste in on space barbies. I was fairly disappointed with the new GW nid models even. Last edition things like Venomthropes (despite being wobbly as hell) and Hive Guard we're very cool models. The Exocrine doesnt do it for me. Nor does the Harpy double box, but I made winged Carnifexes 2 editions ago, so I guess I just prefer mine? Either way, I need more to drop 70 bucks on a box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I dunno, I think game developers that get free reign should be punished somehow... Perhaps by having a screaming machine keep them awake at night *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Oh, I do agree with that! People passionate about what they're working on will turn out a higher product, and in the end, that's in the best interest for everyone. I just have to say, I'm sad as a Sisters player a lot lately. It's really feeling like the dev team don't like them, and so they aren't getting as much love as other armies. Does get into an interesting perspective of design though, about what to do when you're not as passionate but an army or a faction or whatever equivalent really does need an update just to keep up with the rules. ---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ---------- I dunno, I think game developers that get free reign should be punished somehow...

Mister Shine Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I see nothing wrong with this. I think the Dev team should have a responsibility to be answerable to someone, even if its the rest of the Dev team. As I understand it Cruddace answers to nobody.
