The grifters have been predicting GW's fall for quite some time now.

The first time I saw them talk about it was when the Primaris went out. It was a naked power grab by GW to force Space Marine players to re-buy their armies, and they broke the Space Marine lore in half just to force it in. Nothing happened; GW's stock rose, and the doomsayers were proven wrong.

GW went after the right-leaning 40K fans like Arch, coming out with an official statement siding with the woke. This led to the right-wing grifters proclaiming that they won't touch GW products ever again, but once more, it didn't affect GW's bottom line.

Then GW started going after the fan animators, which again, led to another round of ''oh, we'll never buy from GW again'' and ''GW hates the fans'', but once again, all the calls for boycotts fell on deaf ears as GW continued to sell product. Sure, Warhammer Plus was a bust, but the model kits were still selling well.

And now we get to the Female Custodes, and once again, the same cries of boycott and GW being woke are once again uttered by the usual crowd, with more right-wing grifters jumping in for cheap clicks. After three times of seeing 40K fans and the usual faces calling for a boycott, I'm jaded as fuck, and I can already predict that it probably won't amount to much except give bad publicity to GW, which again, is better than no publicity at all.

I just think this guy has GW and the community pegged.

Good luck getting the diversity goons out of those companies.

They're already starting to fire them -- for example, look at all the TikTok cunts that were bragging about using Google/Facebook/etc as glorified adult daycares that paid them $250,000 a year to show up and have bubble tea, they were the first ones out despite it being "sexist" to fire them. DEI jobs are being slashed across the corporate world, and it's just getting started.

But you are right, once the Diversity cult realises the corporations never ACTUALLY believed in their shit and that no, their Grievence Studies professors were wrong and Real Communism isn't coming to America in the next few decades to save them from having to actually be productive and make money, the Diversity Cultists are going to go absolutely fucking thermonuclear.

I'm picturing an entire decade of corporate sabotogue and the like that will be completely unheard of before, and that's assuming the economy doesn't just completely and utterly collapse before then. Of course it could get even worse, if the corpos manage to start replacing low wage jobs with AI + Robots then it's going to be even more hilarious.

Probably. And of course people will be buying the grifter BS. There's plenty of legit reasons to dislike GW, Disney, etc. don't need to make shit up to come up with an excuse to avoid throwing money at them.

Hell, people are still talking about this bullshit but missed the bigger issue with regard to tabletop gaming yesterday.
Asmodee’s collaboration around Middle-earth and other Embracer Group IPs will continue after the spinoff. In support of the spinoff, Asmodee has obtained €900 million (around $963 million) in financing, secured only against its assets, which we interpret as spinning off debt incurred for the acquisition of the company.

On a pro forma basis as per LTM[1] December 2023, Embracer Group, including the expected sales proceeds from the divestment of assets from Saber Interactive and Gearbox Entertainment, but excluding Asmodee, will have a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBIT of around 0.6x. On a pro forma basis as per LTM December 2023, Asmodee will have a Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 3.9x. As part of the transformation and ahead of each separation the full capital structure, including both equity and debt, will be reviewed in Asmodee and “Coffee Stain & Friends” to create the best possible long-term foundation for each entity as a separately listed company.

To put it in plainer terms. Embracer group spun off Asmodee with a fuckload of Embracer's debt in an attempt to shed damn near 1 billion dollars in liability. So the publisher for Marvel Crisis Protocol, Starwars Shatterpoint/Legion, Arkham Horror, etc. just got fucked and they're one of GWs biggest competitors. Asmodee is also the North American distributor for CMON(ASOIAF) and Para Bellum(Conquest)... another two of GWs competitors.

I'm sure the board at GW is definitely concerned right now with people bitching about femstodes one way or the other(this is sarcasm).

Those days are well over. Plus ESG has more to do with the internal running of a company and nothing to do with pozzloading the neghole of the lore.

These are self inflicted wounds of companies who thought that Twitter was the real world and like and retweets would lead to sales.

A lot of companies are about to get a reality check and the next 18 months will be fun to watch.

If you see anyone YouTubers talking about ESG or Blackrock look at what finacial experience they have. My bet you’ll find pretty quickly that they don’t know what they are talking about and are just repeating what over retards on YouTube are saying.

Guy is absolutely right and really touched on the heart of the matter.

Agreed, but my god does it feel like it never actually happens. Basically, I need a capital W WIN to start feeling like woke equals broke for real. Kotaku is peanuts, I need to see Ubisoft die, I need to see Microsoft die, I need to see Games Workshop die, or at the very least, do a course correct so savage that necks snap. Till something real happens, I just will keep seeing "Go woke Get broke" as a cope since it usually translates to "Go woke, lose millions, get promoted" as of now.

Of course they don't know what they're talking about. They don't have to. Repeat talking points, get views. Expecting them to do anything basic like... look up how the financial industry works, what's happening with regard to the actual business of the company and competition, etc. that's too much work. They've got to get onto the next thing or figure out how to stretch the same topic into another video or five. And the bulk of their audience doesn't know fuck all either, just look at how many people don't understand their basic income taxes they've been filing returns for years on, receiving tax refunds, and they still don't understand the difference in something that they actually interact with and impacts them directly... but will then gnash their teeth at the idea of a tax write-off as if that means someone gets free money or isn't paying taxes at all. The closest most people get to this shit, is wondering why the interest rate on the savings account at their bank is so low, shrugging, and then immediately moving on.

Boycotting GW is easy for me because they're expensive as shit.

and its not like Arch+people like him even stopped covering Warhammer there are rumors where apparently Arch had stopped caring about 40k ever since 8th+Primaris but he only covers it for a free paycheck. That video highlights that its lucrative to just complain about Warhammer and still stay apart of it highlighting that even if you pirate all the rules and 3D print you just end up killing non GW games faster as GWs market share remains the same in the community sense.

Arch and others tried moving to Battletech but realized the owners of battletech are bigger wokies than GW ever was and the same goes for other people. Its easier to remain in the 40k sphere and just ignore 40k lore you dont like and push your own little right wing community focused on it than trying to leech onto a new IP. The entire mentality is very ingrained in 40k and will be impossible to remove (as much as GW would like to the locals of Nottingham even referred to their HQ as the nazi building for years). I dont see a boycott working but I do see 40k splitting more and more into extreme fringe fanbases fighting over who really controls the fandom mentality wise.

The right wing grifters who made videos just to jump on it all have good points but the issue is all these guys who make videos on this shit are utter faggot narcists that makes me hate them more. Quartering and Critical Drinker just making videos becasue they saw blood in the water was the worst of it especially when they got the lore all wrong.
 
And here we go. Because someone working at a company for almost 3 decades quits and cashes out some(but not even all) of their vested shares... it's "dumping" and supposedly think the company is fucked. Utter fucking bullshit. Even the "amid boycott" is a fucking joke. It isn't a boycott when they're still selling out of new product while it's still on preorder.

Why do these all these guys use the most abhorrent AI generated images for their thumbnails
 
This video made me think of tier list for faction in the books:

A: Guard, Marines of both sides. Inquisition. Even if some are shit there is so much there are great examples.
B: Necrons. Dark Eldar. Orks. Fun both as villains and main characters.
C: Mechanicus. Sisters. Tau. Not bad but usually less interesting version of Guard.
D: Tyrranids. Very boring overpowered generic threat.
F: Eldar. Boring whenever they appear.

Should read Ork novels one day. Heard good things about them.

Exactly. The more publicity they give to Warhammer, the more Warhammer eclipses every other tabletop wargame, the more it remains on the top and continues to gain revenue. Whenever people think tabletop, they'll be thinking about Warhammer and Space Marines, not Battletech or some other game, which makes the prospect of boycotting them all the more ridiculous.

That's mostly concerning the lore nuts, most of whom don't even buy the product to begin with. Most of the whales will continue to buy so long as the models look good and they're good to play in a game.

That, and they haven't even noticed that GW has fucked the fanbase in the ass even worse than this. The constant price hikes and them shutting down fan videos is way worse than the female Custodes thing, since most players can just pretend that's not a thing and write off any story about Fem-Custodes as heretical nonsense uttered by unreliable narrators.

Slaanesh when on ironically support you human trafficking women and sexually torturing them because that's excess but you have to do it in a way that basically gives you absolute power over them Jeffrey Epstein would be more likely to be accepted by the Prince of pleasure then Brianna Wu.
Andrew Tate would actually be more accept by the Prince of pleasure simply due to the fact that he fully supports you sex trafficking women exploiting people's sexual desires and taking advantage of vice
taking advantage of naive young men and leading them down a path that hedonism and materialism exploiting vulnerable young women
being a vain narcissist these are all acceptable things and the Prince of pleasures eyes.

Being a whiny hall monitor tattletale I don't think any faction would really like that very much
even Jeffrey dahmer would be accepted bye the Prince of pleasure because that's excess taken to a logical conclusion

you cook really good crystal meth and make really good drugs that would also be something the Prince of pleasure would be interested in

the poor job making is I don't see why the transgenders like slyness if you prayed to she who thirsts and saying you wanna be a woman she would probably grant it but in a really screwed up way so you become a disgusting grotesque mockery of a woman
no wait that's what they do already

“Slaanesh, I wanna be a woman”

That is asking to be sewn into another person as a monstrosity, that living furniture the EC love so much.

Almost all Chaos cults become a men’s club as soon as they get big enough to attract the true champions (Vraks) the Astartes show up, take whoever and whatever they want, use the cult as cheap fodder and anyone who resists dies.

There's also one notable Chaos Sister of Battle, Miriael Sabathiel. She was captured by demon prince of Slaanesh and repeatedly tortured until she eventually broke and chose to become a servant. I think she's only been part of like one short story, but actually survived the ending.
Click to expand...
Even then, the price she paid to become a female chaos champion was repeat gang-rape and torture. Women have a rough go in Slaanesh cults. World Eaters just use them for their carefully cultivated cultist breeding programs (they breed them like dogs)
