The op is exactly what this game deserves because promise means gently caress all when they change the plan in every update for the game.

You talking about mine or the Eonwe's? Cause mine I got for free when I signed up. The elephant I'm pretty sure is either a Disney channel thing or from that one sports ball team.

Nah, SC thread is from general games, actually. Eonwe salt mined that guy pretty hard, so he blew all his bitcoin profits buying people avatars.

Probably yes, however I and I feel like at least a few others would be satisfied with a simple space marine multi-player knock off with dedicated servers. Anything more (vehicles, other races, more guns chapters and pretty stuff to bling out on) is just icing on our meager store brand cake.

I would be more than satisfied if this was literally Space Marine multiplayer but with stable servers.

Yes. Blood Bowl 2 is okay though, and Vermintide appears to be a good game.

Vermintide and Mordheim are legit fun to play.

Vermintide is surprisingly a really, really good game. All they need to do is reskin Vermintide for PVE and steal the multiplayer from Space Marine for PVP and you have enough of a fun game to last you for a couple of years.

I found this video through related videos. It looks like this game is turning into WH40K: Space Marine meets Planetside2/BF3.

Paring back when they realized they couldn't make Warhammerside happen was a smart move, and they seem to be making good progress, but my current worry is that their progression systems will ruin everything.

The carrot on the stick of progression is often the only thing keeping people playing an otherwise bland game though.

The Alpha is very reminiscent of SM, except on a much larger scale. Even though they aren't doing the Planetside 2 system at first, the Heroes & Generals type system they described is still decent, and with up to 100 people per match it definitely won't be a bad thing. If anything, I'm slightly relieved they're going with that type of system first; 100 players seems like it may be a clusterfuck, even more than that and I don't know how things will turn out.

Also: EC-BCYHY6QBYNBMB is an invite code for a few thousand free currency things.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to through down 500 bux for alpha access.

I understand Warhammer Online was a massive failure (although you could argue that GW did itself no favors by refusing to let the game go free-to-play), but going with this lowest-bidder-and-maybe-it'll-work plan is basically throwing money away and making your IP look like poo poo.

You don't have to make your IPs into whatever genre is popular today, GW. Well, at least they're not making a 40k moba- oh wait :commissar:

The thing you have to understand about GW is that they literally don't give a single poo poo about the videogames made on their IP. I'm not even kidding. Gamers aren't hobbyists, and hobbyists are their only relevant market. Their business plan is selling miniatures to whales who poo poo out thousands of dollars at a time on an army of miniatures, nothing else. Nothing else matters. That is their niche and they plan to mine it into oblivion. Licensing for videogames is a fire and forget thing they do, they don't actually care.

They also don't even sell/care about the game the miniatures are made for. They legit believe the hobby is spending money on and painting dolls and playsets.

Why i ended up selling all my warhammer stuff. I am a gamer I play to win games, and that didn't settle well with the hobbyists attitude of most warhammer players.

Eh, I think the issue is more warmachines is sold as a balanced game where each faction is competitive, and warhammer is now sold as an excuse to paint models and I guess maybe you can pose them with other people (But not in our store, and no we're not organizing any events to play) but you can still have a game attached, I guess.
