1st May 2014 London Riots 2: Electric Boogaloo. The looters got everything they wanted for themselves last time. This time, they'll steal things to flip on eBay.

Not betting on dates since a bunch already took Dec 31 2015, but definitely betting on being bought out, and specifically by Hasbro/WotC or some one big corp toy company (does any even exist?) They're the only players with enough of a warchest to buy GWS, the existant logistical network to clean up GWS's nightmare of a supply chain, and have an existant expandable player base and tournament logistics with Magic to actually invigorate the game. I could easily see Wizards taking over administration of GWS and everyone would be better off for it.

Little_wh0re posted:GW will not die in the timeframe listed has anyone else bet that yet? Yea, GW's gonna limp along for a good while now, going by the standards set in the OP. Though I will say I'd expect sometime late 2nd quarter 2014 they will sell off an IP and/or production of minis or publishing to try to stop the bleeding.

Since you were clever in a cool way if the date lands in the third week of March your guess takes precedence. Thundercracker posted:Not betting on dates since a bunch already took Dec 31 2015, but definitely betting on being bought out, and specifically by Hasbro/WotC or some one big corp toy company (does any even exist?) Selling off major chunks of the business counts as GW death. Little_wh0re posted:GW will not die in the timeframe listed has anyone else bet that yet? No but that's no fun.

I wager The Sixth Night of 14th Month the 11th Year of the 8th King of Summerlac's Reign in the Age of the Sundered Sun before Galarmont was reduced to ruin and the people of Jiang Hui still ate colors Barring that I'd say they won't go under in the next year and if a buyout is even a possibility someone will snap up their bits and bobs for IP purposes.

December 8, 2015. And I'll stand on the deck of an aircraft carrier and hurl a pyrovore into the ocean.SUPER NEAT TOY posted:You guys realize it took Blockbuster like 7 years to die right? If they switch to a model where they have little automated sales kiosks that are stuck outside of game stores and 7-11, I'll be excited to watch their slow death. Also to watch kids shuffle through the menu endlessly since any interactive screen is a videogame to a certain bored mindset. theironjef fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Jan 21, 2014 |

Could have a 3D printer in there, spit out whatever figs you wanted.

Sure, I'll play. March 17th, 2015 because 317 is my favorite number for no good reason. I'm hoping someone not horrible buys them, but that seems unlikely.

Put me down for June 6, 2015. I wouldn't mind seeing Fantasy Flight pick up the GW licences, they already have use of most of GW's settings as it is. Hell, they released the Dark Heresy RPGs instead of GW. Instead of trying to expand their business and reach out to non-mini gamers, GW has slowly been curling in on itself to become a nugget of pure hate wrapped in poorly-balanced rule sets.
