So basically more unsubstantiated and illogical bullshit. No one would read the lore? There are autists who read every word of text printed in an attempt to determine the heights of primarchs. People who read every detail they can for any ideas they can use for their own character kitbashes. And we're supposed to believe that a GW employee could assume that no one would read the lore? The lore that generally rare changes yet is constantly complained about for not changing, and then complained about when it does change?
And yes, amazon has no reason to give a response about the shit to anyone besides investors or high level GW employees at this point. In fact, because amazon is a publicly traded company, making unnecessary commentary because people are asking about some bullshit that's due multiple fiscal quarters from now, making statements would only serve to be a liability.
Also, to claim that AoS is unpopular? AoS usually occupies more shelf space in a game store than anything else, other than 40k of course. Most miniature companies would strive to hit a fraction of what AoS does. Hell, AoS generally gets more shelf space than Necromunda, Horus Heresy, Epic, MESBG, Warcry, and Bloodbowl combined. Nevermind the fact that AoS is just about as easy to find a game for as 40k, most of the other stuff in a game store... not so much unless you're already part of a dedicated play group for some particular niche.
And then to continue this bullshit about custodes collecting dust on the shelves.. no their codex is still mediocre after an update, prior to which it was utter fucking garbage. Combine that with half the damn range not even existing on store shelves(due to being FW, and the caladius tank and jetpack custodes actually are popular for a while now), and anyone who wanted to collect custodes would have most of the plastic range after the last couple of combat patrols and battleforce boxes anyway(nevermind a surplus of jetbikes because those still suck), of course the faction isn't selling worth a crap. Hell, 3/4 of the dreadnoughts aren't plastic, and the contemptor that is, is only on shelves as a horus heresy branded kit. The landraider hasn't been on store shelves in years because it's the oldest basic kit and comes in a plain white box when ordered from GW. The rhino for the sisters of battle... I can't say I've seen one besisdes the much better and newer HH kit on shelves in years. Duplicates of that 2 character pack and Trajan Valoris have basically no reason to sell. The widestodes captain is shit. And the wardens, terminators, bikes, and guard squad have been in multiple discount boxes for the past 4 or so years. That leaves what, the blade champion? People probably already have the 2-3 they'll ever need anyway.
edit: I was listening to this video from this sword n steele chick in the background, yeah it's good to call out the obvious bullshit for what it is.
And now that I think about it. The not wanting DEI shit in 40k... recent 40k is full of that shit. It's got gays, randomly brown people, women in roles of authority, enough so that people have been bitching about this for the past 5 years straight. But somehow, the CEO wants AoS used as a dumping ground for it? As if it hasn't been in 40k? Come on.
