Tom Kirby is stepping down and posted his Chairman Pre Amble, it's kind of insane. http://investor.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Chairmans-Preamble-2014.pdf quote:Games Workshop has had a really good year. It's kind of a really weird letter. Also he kind of comes off as a rear end in a top hat. quote:We have, this last year,spent an indecent amount of your money trying to stop someone stealing our ideas and images. It is a very difficult thing to do We spent close to a quarter million pounds and got a settlement for 20,000. Plus, we kind of poo poo the bed in losing a whole bunch of rights to specific things that we had previously had rights to. Hollismason fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Jul 28, 2014 |

It doesn't really mean much, Kirby though has been in charge for a long time ( I think since 1996?). So it's always not a great sign when the CEO who totally knows how to fix the company, and would do so but says "Nah, gonna sit this one out" gets ousted or leaves. It means that the sales figures and such are going to be really low, and this is a way of saying " look this is why we are doing so poorly". It's just one more mistep in the line to being purchased by Hasbro.

I'm waiting for the quarterly to see if it's true, but there could easily be a connection between investors now getting votes on how the company is run, the increased dividend and Kirby getting ousted.

I'm not sure what you mean. I have no idea beyond a basic laymans terms of what all this means, I know it's not good when the CEO writes something like that and actually publishes it.

This is my favorite partquote:The argument is that we have to do this or we will, bit by bit,lose everything that we hold dear, everything that keeps the business going. Our crops will wither, our children will die piteousdeaths and the sun will be swept from the sky. But is it true? Is it true you should defend your IP or wait are you saying you shouldn't have went after CHS, or are you saying that it is in fact true that this will occur if you do not do this.

Someone made the joke of them being bought by Hasbro. Would that even be so bad? Everything I've seen come from Wizards (honestly, just magic and DnD) has been of high quality since being purchased, even if I don't agree with stuff that has nothing to do with Hasbro (such as rules.) It's not like GW isn't already gouging us constantly with questionable business practices. I really love Warhammer (it's crazy exciting to be getting into it for the first serious time - pretty soon you guys will get to see my newbie foray into painting my first models) but I hate that I feel like if I'm not buying my models and paints third-party, then I'm grossly overpaying. Honestly, a lot of their sculpts are amazing and so I don't mind buying them, and the games' scale seems unmatched in the market, but I still hate loving it.

It'd be awesome if they were bought by Hasbro, because Hasbro would go " Oh wait we have this awesome IP that no one has made any films about in 30 years". Here Michael Bay, produce Warhammer 40k movie like you did for our Transformers.
