Your average dimwit with a semi-decent search engine would've had an entire library of Black Library PDFs by now.
Exactly. Which means that you not buying any minis won't affect them at all. The people who actually buy the minis are more offended by the Custodes getting nerfed than by them having members with birth canals and mammaries for 10K years.
Shortsighted.
I'm not against buying books as I have multiple shelves full myself, but why would you brag about not buying their minis but still buying their books?
Because it's arguably less autistic? Especially if you don't play the game
The books are cheaper. I have a life, I have kids, I need to pay for things. I can't justify a thousand dollars on toy soldiers. I can justify 10 bucks on a book that I find in a used book store.
Ah, you didn't lead with the books being used. You can buy second-hand minis btw, I do all the time.
Facebook's used mini groups are a goldmine. Just put your Jew nose on, and have some fun finding bargains.
I’ve found splitting box sets to be the way.
Smart. Take advantage of the demand while it's there.
They've been raping the lore for 30 fucking years, dude. Remember when guys like this used to exist in the Space Marine Chapters?
Dominion (Age of Shitmar 3.0) and the Black Templar boxes were failures in terms of sales (The BT boxes were insulting because they added were diversity heads for the mahreens). I'm in a blue state where you have a few people play this game, but you could still find Dominion boxes for a long time. I'm not denying these sell on GW's site, but in hobby shops this shit hardly sells. Stores hate doing business with GW because they know Games Wokeshop goes out of the way to fuck with them. It blows my mind how Games Wokeshop openly sells things to scalpers. Eventually whales will dry up if you keep churning out shitty products (look at dead gacha games).
My beef with the antisjws nowadays is they just want clicks, and don't bother to research anything. They're talking about the Pokemon Go avatars, but they didn't look into how the game's been awful and losing money because TPC and Nianctic keep fucking with the players (nerfing raids, shitty fomo events, terrible meta). You won't see Jeremy from Grifters and Goyims admit Nintendo is woke like the rest of the big Japanese companies (reminder Beardo defended Spider Cuck 2). If these assholes cared, they would have looked into Games Wokeshop's other terrible actions and past woke moments like supporting Black Lives Matter and Antifa with their "You won't be missed message" and the "Nazi incident" at a tournament. I think everyone in this thread knows how awful GW has been way before sjws were a thing.
Here's the excuse, and it's already come up in this thread "but that was when things were in flux, that was before 2nd edition, it was still rogue trader, blah blah blah" and if it isn't that it'll be "but that's before X was established" or "this is before Y happened and was expanded on".
You can still find BT and dominion boxes sitting around collecting dust. The heads had nothing to do with why the BT box didn't sell. The BT box didn't sell because it was $200 for what would have otherwise been a $150 combat patrol, padded out with bullshit cards and a printed codex that were practically obsolete before they would make it into someone's shopping cart. Even ignoring the book and cards, even the fucking models were chapter specific and couldn't be used for any other chapter unless they were proxies. The combat patrols had the shoulder pad upgrade sprues and some decals, but you could still use them for whatever chapter you wanted and get a discount.
True, but the heads were the only thing sticking out to me with that shitty box.
its the inch before a mile,
i have more patience for higher prices, i dont have the patience to begin the process of more and more bullshit being ruined.
when they made the imperium more radically xenophobic it created a unique setting though. dei doesnt do that.
people see the writing on the wall. it might take years if people hadnt flipped out for anything else to be done but its a signal that there will be more done at the behest of the worst people. idk why thats so complicated to some or why they cant look at the history of other franchises.
They made the Imperium more radically xenophobic because they wanted to whine about how religious and military conservatives are intolerant. That's why they made the Catholic Space Nazis super intolerant, even though historically, Catholic Imperialists were far more racially tolerant than America was in the 1950s.
But it did sell out on GW's site. And the scalpers are buying this shit up. The scalpers sell this crap at a markup, because there is demand for it. So while the local stores get fucked, the online market is buzzing with activity. GW hates the hobby shops and would rather see them burn so they can ship their product directly to the player. That way, there's no middleman outside of the scalpers who buy this shit in bulk anyways.
The price hikes should've been the final straw. It affects the players in real life, as opposed to inserting new marines into traditionally paranoid chapters or giving a Custodes a birth canal. The latter is just make-believe; you can just head-canon it out of your mind and say that the lone female Custodes was just a Sister of Battle doing a prank, or say that the Primaris Marines were veteran Space Marines from each chapter given new upgrades. Price hikes never stop, and they gouge the wallets of the players, yet the players come back for more.
it still made a fun setting.
lefties suck at satire to the point they dont realize they often accidentally make their opposition look fun or inviting hence all the settings where the nazis won and its paradise for everyone except the scant freaks who want to fuck little boys. the point stands that retconning it then created one of the most famous aspects instead of this one which makes it more samey
because now the setting is becoming something they dont want to pay for
Unintentionally. Now they're correcting that.
That didn't matter back in 2017 when they raped the lore with Primaris Marines. Their stock prices surged. So no, raping the lore doesn't hurt their bottom line at all.
Dude, the whales don't give a shit about the setting, and neither does GW. GW has been raping the setting for years. Remember Matt Ward and his Ultramarines who are so OP and perfect, it made every other SM fan cringe. Remember the Primaris Marines that broke the Space Marine lore in half just so SM players had to re-buy their armies and toss away their old marines. And of course, the countless price hikes that hurt the wallets of the players in real life. If they didn't run away from that very real damage, then giving Custodes birth canals won't scare them away.
They do that because they know they can get away with it. GW broke the lore in half with the Primaris. GW handed cease and desist orders to fan animators. GW openly sided with SJWs. Yet the product still sells. So why not dox and attack the right-wingers? Half of them probably don't play the game anyways, and the other half that does buy the product will always come again like a battered housewife with Stockholm Syndrome, no matter how many times GW screws over the fans with price hikes and other bullshit. They have the fans pegged, and they know their actions won't hurt their bottom line. So of course, they will keep doing what they're doing, because it's not going to hurt them at all.
If they actually cared, these anti-SJWs would be trying to get guys like Elon Musk and other right-wing billionaires to buy enough stock in GW, like how the right-wing Star Wars and Marvel fans want Nelson Peltz to take over Disney and clean the house. If right-leaning rich folk get enough GW stock, they can put an end to the increasing SJW-ification of Warhammer 40K. They don't. These anti-SJWs are just grifters who fan the flames of the culture war, but have no real strategy to win it. They profit off this ''war'', like some kind of culture war profiteer, but they have no real plan to win. That's why they're despicable.
