I'm not like other posters

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.
