Bretonnians Getting Squatted? - manrogue - 20-01-2014 Personally don't believe this for a minute, but did have to laugh that cause shares dropped 26% or whatever, the sky is falling. Lol.

Is this a credible rumour? That is crazy if it is, don't want to sound a bit doomsayer like but getting rid of playable factions is not a great way to go - there seems to be no long term vision for the company, just short term knee jerk reactions which frankly could actually bring an end to GW. What do other people think? Tell me I'm wrong! RE: Bretonnians Getting Squatted? - Simian - 20-01-2014 seems a very very odd move to me RE: Bretonnians Getting Squatted? - manrogue - 20-01-2014 I think it is rubbish myself, sky is falling mentality to generate hits. Only reported as thought it was quite amusing that a 26% drop in share prices means they stopping armies being released. Lolz. 40K radio guys reckon that Wood elves are after Dwarfs and have slammed this rumour as false already. They are going about cutting costs in other ways, such as cloing global HQ's and centralising them in Nottingham. RE: Bretonnians Getting Squatted? - jaqenhgar - 20-01-2014 Phew! Hoping it's a made-up rumour! RE: Bretonnians Getting Squatted? - Simian - 20-01-2014 (20-01-2014, 10:42 AM)manrogue Wrote: I think it is rubbish myself, sky is falling mentality to generate hits.

I take all rumours with a pinch of salt anyway, these get a vat of it however. RE: Bretonnians Getting Squatted? - manrogue - 20-01-2014 Yeah strikes me as that. Natfka tends to report anything he hears/gets sent, and has a roughly 40% accuracy on rumours. That's why i usually only report the more likely rumours off him as he posts rumours daily, and half are rubbish lol. I do expect GW to do something to try and increase revenue/decrease spend, but getting rid of armies is not one of them. I expect Games day to go after this year, they have been scaling back on it last couple of years and the last one was basicly "come and look at all the cool forgeworld stuff and buy GW stuff that you can get from your local store at normal retail price!" with no participation games. RE: Bretonnians Getting Squatted? - Gareth - 20-01-2014 I doubt there is any chance of GW doing away with an army. It is however plausible that they will scale back on in store products. Most Failcast items are direct order, and even some plastics (some surprisingly like the High Elf Bolt Thrower, are actually popular items.) For example even with a January release, I would expect Gaunt models to go direct only, when I store stocks dry up, a feeling indicated by the current re packing online of units into twenties, when they still sell twelves (in store and online.) I would also expect to see more doubling up of units, such as Dark Elf spear and crossbow models, which pulled two boxes into one (that even added a third unit type,) to free up shelf space. RE: Bretonnians Getting Squatted? - manrogue - 20-01-2014 Yeah, they are doing direct only with more and more plastic stuff mainly to try and get you to order off GW direct for increased profit. Hence the current rumour of 30% of product will be direct only by end of year. |
