The fact that people are making such an embarrassing, dramatic fuss over a talkshow host whose entire schtick is ribbing everyone who comes on his show, is more of a damning indictment of the people who get involved in this hobby than the bullying we got when we were kids.

Yeah we know what it says. (Fixed tags) With the comments I’ve seen, I don’t think you do.

Ferrus’ Primarch novel flat-out says he’s over a metre taller than a terminator.

Kentaro Miura cited 40k/Warhammer as a huge influence on Berserk as time went on.

They are somewhat of a jerk company though.Oh trust me, I know. Bastards fired all of us Press Gangers without notice.

PP barely even accept conversions using their own parts never mind outside productions.

Well a Guardsman’s fist needs a 5+ to wound, and then to get through a minimum 3+ and potential 6+++, whereas the power fist wounds on a 3+, and is reducing saves by 3, so let’s not act like there’s no difference.

Logic fail. If you are taking someone else’s parking place, they lose it. If you are making Warhammer characters talk in silly voices and make a YouTube video about it, GW loses nothing. Response fail, it’s about the use of property without consent. And also need we be reminded that *nobody did anything to Alfabusa other than Alfabusa*. There is a difference between private and personal property. Bloody hell, it’s a comparative metaphor. I’m autistic and not being that pedantic.

They were already made beforehis announcement. He just posted them on YouTube for people's convenience.Doesn’t matter, if you’re genuinely scared uploading would bring the hammer down, you don’t then upload regardless. It’s just drama capitalisation.

Also Alfabusa has released two TTS videos today after his big “I can’t do this because my future is in jeopardy” announcement, so people will end up shutting up about that aspect.

That’s also down to the game developers/publishers.

Come in Sign my contract Say “carry on” Leave and let my massive income amass

That relies on AN being honest about the situation, because it does contradict what’s happened with a few others who’ve detailed dealings. But I will admit that until now I didn’t know about them, so I can pass real comment and could be waaay off base.

This something that, as a multinational and multi-million pound corporation, GW would never do. Look at things from a business perspective: With the launch of Warhammer+ and the content it will host, fan content creators stopped being fans. And became competitors. Competitors who, on the individual level and using TTS as an example, rake in 180K per year by blatantly infringing on GW's IP. There is no reason GW would allow any of that to continue. And despite what some folk think, GW's approach wasn't that ham-fisted. They went to fan content creators and said "Hey, we like what your doing with our IP. We'd love to have you come in house and make it an official product. Unfortunately, if you refuse, we are aware of what you're doing and we'll have to enforce our IP rights." Ham-fisted, in my opinion, would've been to announce Warhammer+ and then immediately send out the C&D notices to everyone.No, it's GW going "Join us or die". Shall we point to the fan animators who declined, demonetized their videos and Patreon AND WERE STILL FORCED TO DELETE THEIR CONTENT? Alienating the fanbase is a way to lose money. Look at what happened with Star Wars. Thanks to snide, rude and downright cruel comments made by some of the higher-ups in LucasFilm after the Disney acquisition, the sequel trilogy proceeded to tank. Games Workshop has a much smaller base than Star Wars, so doing something like that would ruin their company. GW, as a company and legal entity, needs to realize: Their company can cease to exist, TOMORROW, and the setting will continue. The fans will continue it, because we don't need them. They need us. This is my last comment on the matter. Don't @ me I’ll @ you to quote Star Wars and say “everything you just said was wrong”. Especially saying the sequel series tanked when they’re the highest earners of the franchise. I don’t even like those movies and I’m not wailing. If you can name content creators who refused and were attacked then maybe I’ll believe you. But bear in mind, having already received a fortune from the stolen IP *is still a legal issue*.
