Smart woman. If only the GW community managers were half as smart!

Why would you ever work with Arch? Isn't he a known Neo Nazi?????
Makes you wonder who bought the shares, and how they will influence the setting. If you think of it, all the drama and devalued stock just gives a discount to whoever will make it worse..
I have been in the hobby for decades and I am against the concept of femstodes or modern female space marines. Or any form of this universe conforming to modern social or political factions. That being said, be careful of bringing up female space marines, as that rabbithole can open up a new warpstorm. I assume you are aware that for the first 30+ years of the 40k verse, there were more female marine models/sculpts than there were custodes models/sculpts right (gabs and jayne from rt6012, and the kev adams marine that some credit to brian ansell)? It is also important to note that if the Eisenhorn connection/rumour is even remotely true, these femstodes could be part of the Court of the King in Yellow. It seems valdor is doing more stuff that is not in the lore and or is outright heretical. And ofcourse that Grummz on twitter is a warcraft designer that is semi responsible for the things that he claims GW might turn into, while it happened to his own franchise. It is also important to note that for the first editions, the lore was vague and ambiguous by design. The one "men" reference in context according to the english dictionairy can also mean a group of humans/people. Nowhere else for decades is men or man used, same for brotherhood, boys or sons which is from like 7th edition. The other lore bits on custodes in the Rogue Trader Rulebook (like p139) are more elaborate and completely ambigous. The same goes for second edition with p12 in the Codex Imperialis. Grummz, or Mark, is likely just trolling and stirring up the pot, or intentionally devalueing GW stock.
My advice would be to change to oldhammer (which gw won't profit from as it's usually second hand, a safer investment and has a lot of funky gems), 3d printing, or any other miniature game.
Imagine being the only sane astropath on a burning ship in the warp. That was her job I imagine.
CFO stands for cheif financial officer. she oversees the financial activity of GW in Nottingham as written in the article. if the CFO is resigning and selling stocks......that most likely means their financial activity is gone to hell if that is the reason she resigned and GTFO.
@@AnimeMangaLord1996 Or you know, She's in her fifties, has been with the company almost 30 years, and maybe, just maybe wants to retire. This video is nothing but click bait which thankfully I haven't watched.
@@JoshuaRouleau Whatever you do.
DO NOT notice patterns and coincidences.
And certainly DO NOT draw conclusions based on them!!
If we're lucky, we will get an official twitter statement which will inform us of what to think.
Stand firm, Comrade, there have always been female custodes.
@@JoshuaRouleau Says the video is nothing but clickbait, admits to not watching it...
@@JoshuaRouleau cope, they fucked up (again)
The DEI money came in and she immediately knew she had to get out. Smart CFO.
My question did she jump or was she pushed? Selling the shares makes me think she was pushed.
You'd sell the shares anyways. If she knows that the shares are gonna tank, why wouldn't you sell them now and cash out rather than wait for everything to crash and now the shares are worth nothing?
Edit: Fixed a typo and I also wanted to add this, I honestly kinda think her keeping even a third of her shares is kinda risky personally I would've sold at least like 75% of my shares, but she's a cfo so she prob knows more than I do. So I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on that.
You can't write comedy this divine
I hope you realize how horrifyingly true this is, if you wrote this on page 1 of fiction people would burn the whole book because they think it's too far fetched and unrealistic...
Yes because lying to and disrespecting the people who buy your products is a winning business model.
GW has been doing this for a very long time… you are just simply an incel.
it’s certainly not gonna tank the stock bc a minority of children want to fight low iq culture wars
This tard actually can’t be bothered to read beyond headlines very obviously. The CFO was always going to retire in January and selling her shares 100% has nothing to do with femstodes.
MY ARMOR IS CONTEMPT
MY SHIELD IS DISGUST
MY SWORD IS HATRED
BY THE EMPEROR, LET NONE SURVIVE
Boycotting Space Marine 2 is going to be the ultimate test of resolve for true fans.
That punishes Saber Interactive for an Amazon/GW fuckup. Cancelling WH+ is the direct move.
@@darthkek1953 you can wait for a discount if you must consume product.
Saber Interactive should not be punished for GW and Amazon shit
Wanted it. Now, nah. I have a major backlog any ways.
Look at the gameplay (I know, I know, ignore how pretty it looks and the 40k skin it has draped over it for a moment)
Tell me it doesn't look like the same old 3rd-person action-shooter slop we've been fed for the past several decades.
😂 The CFO probably will always be the fastest out the door of a company that is screwed
This is exactly what happened with the Witcher, you fuck it up and the same people leave the burning ship.
Correction: Sane*
i don't get the reaction, these videos are getting 10k views there's no burning ship
probably left for different reasons
@@MrTomaton2 The Cheef Financial Officer cashing out and runs from the Company is a horrible Sign for any Company no matter how you slice it
@@MrTomaton2 No one would sell 2/3 stocks when GW has rocketed last few years and tv shows coming, games etc.
She clearly knows more
@@dinoXAs2 i don't doubt that, that's what i mean when i said she probably left for different reasons tho, people involved in the outrage of the last couple of weeks are taking this as a win as if they believe they had something to do with this.
"when games workshop hears about this they'll have your head"
"When they hear, hahaha, fool. They ordered me to do it."
“There are some things the ESG doesn’t understand”
“Stop what you say is heresy!”
You already know no one on the other side of the conversation is gonna tackle this head on.
Something something whataboutism, Something something gaslight, Something something it doesn't matter anyway, Something something BIGOT, INCEL, Etc. You know the script the creatures use if any conversation does come up :)
They're too busy swearing up and down they are the majority and we are a tiny group who's business will not be missed at all.
Until they receive official instruction concerning the matter, they will tell you, "It's unrelated, do not notice" more commonly known as "It isn't happening."
After they receive instruction, it will be "It is happening, and here's why it's a good thing."
@@astrovarius543
Just like inflation!
We're too busy actually playing games and painting minis wee pal. You guys enjoy tightening each others tin foil hats and listening to the chud farming TH-camrs though 😊
I mean heresay and all that.
But anyone else notice gw stores seeming a bit emptier recently? When I went in to get my new heresy supplement (ordered before all this), the store was empty, game tables were vacant, and only 3 people were painting on a Saturday. A lot of people are quietly annoyed and turned off by this, I think.
I can’t say the same about my local shop… every table was taken or reserved all day Saturday and Sunday, and all the painting tables were full. I run a local book club and that’s where we meet once a month. A lot of people really don’t care… which makes me sad.
@@wyoguy9720 To be honest, when shitty things like this happen, you revert to the part of the hobby you don't have to think about. It's a bit like the Sims 4 and how bad that has got. People have retreated to house building now, because the game has become so unplayable that they'd rather just play the simplest part of that game and get enjoyment out of building some houses. It's to do with sunk costs. You bought all those models, you bought all that paint, you will lose money if you sell it all on eBay, at a car boot sale/yard sale/flea market/etc so you paint the models you've got. I'm sure they do care, but they are trying to make the best of it. I understand it all too well.
The GW Store in my town only has 2 tables. They are tiny.
@@jackochainsaw I’m actually enjoying 10th edition. I refused to play 9th. My local store has 3 game tables and 3 painting tables. There was a lot of discussion about the lore change… and the general consensus was to wait and see what happens from here.
@@wyoguy9720 >playing past 5th edition
Ick.
Smart woman, she sees gw is burning
"I'm outta here" lmfao
BRB NEVER LULZ.
GW has rocketed last few years. She clearly knows what future brings because no one would leave company and sell shares at this point... but if they knew that woke virus has arrived.
Inquisitors with above-average brainpower watching the Octarius debacle be like
"Conflict 47 wont go woke because history" tell that to battlefield 1
That's true although it takes a long time to build up enough of the "wider audience" to safely go woke without going broke. GWS think they're passing that threshold just now but we shall see.
If cake is big enough, they want to take more than a slice. WIth videogaming is more about studios and their shareholders bending knee to the wokies. Women in general ain't into historical wws settings, rather maybe ancient if anything. I've never seen any of typical modern fanart creators thirsting for ww1 or ww2 stuff because girls doesn't care about it. So it is way more safe than any fantasy/SF.
Thats not what I said and you spelled it wrong XD
I said I don't think Konflict 47 will go woke and hope it won't
Well I didn’t think 40K would go woke and here we are.
That was battlefield 5
When the CFO sells their shares, the ship has already left port, sailed half-way across the world, and crashed head-first right into an Iceberg. There's no way in hell they would not know this would happen months in advance.
Battletech is my last refuge, don't make me dust off Crimson Skies.
heard some bad things about Battletech too, but I hope it was just rumors
Look up what's been going on with battletech lately. You're jumping from one burning ship to another
apparently she sold on April 19th, so she sold after the shit show.
Play heroscape. Its a dead game so you dont have to worry about anyone ruining it amd the culture war cant touch it. Also you can just 3d print all the minis for it.
Take the iron age pill. Make your own game.
When your Chief Financial Officer is like, "Aight, Imma head out." you KNOW you fucked your business.
Yes - protest with your wallet.
Gav Thorpe.... you know what you must do. You've done your harm over the years, be gone.
What people say vs. what they do.
Now to question is who is going to buy those shares now that the dump cheapen the share prices.
Blackrock/Vanguard
It's not just any dump either. This is the CFO jumping ship. There is no worse shareholder PR than this.
@@CorwinTheOneAndOnly A definite no confidence vote if ever I saw one.
If you think this is something, wait until their next earnings report comes out
Disney will buy GW stocks lol
How long until the rest of GW collapses into a black hole?
We can only pray.
Not gonna happen. They’re huge and have a massive revenue stream each and every year, and that’s only increased via Amazon and the demons of BlackRock. They may lose one, perhaps two or even million dollars, a year for the next few years but they’ll eventually get out the bilge pump and keep the ship from sinking entirely.
Eventually people return. Bud Light is actually starting to claw its way out of its self-dug grave because people have short memories. Bud Light will probably not be as big as it was for a decade or more, if ever, but it will eventually reclaim some of the market share it lost over the whole dude-pretending-to-be-a-woman catastrophe.
I got a couple questions. When did the CFO put in her resignation, amd when did she sell her stock? Because I'm not convinced it was due to the recent events.
I believe she resigned on jan 23 and sold her stock April 18
@@Chonkulease Thanks for that. So it seems the resignation can still be unrelated, However selling the stock definitely seems reactionary to the rapid decline over the past week.
@@Wolf37f I think it is understandable considering. My dad was provided a similar option when he was a Managing Director of Engineering at a large aviation company. He could either take money or shares. It was considered disloyal to take the money so he took the shares. When he was made redundant some years later, he lost shit tons of money on the stocks. In the end they had lost nearly 2000% of their value. My mother sold them for a penny each. In addition he'd had to pay a lot of tax on them, they were completely worthless. I think this former CFO made the right decision even if it looks bad. In our economic climate you have to look after yourself.
Most if not alll there product decisions are made monthes in advance so on the surface they can appear unrelated but in truth be 100%
Seeing as how Codexs are made a year or 2 in advance, she definitely knew this was coming. She also would have been getting reports on how the Amazon situation is doing and realized something is wrong.
It’s annoying that rich people can get away with fucking something up so much, then selling shares and resigning to make even more money and leave the ship burned and sunk on the bottom of the ocean
I wouldn't be shocked if she helped orchestrate the crash. The resignation seems pretty convenient timing wise if you ask me. Smart gal.
Methinks she wasn't part of it but knows that now the IP is tainted and is going to start losing value, so she left while she could with minimal loss, that's what any sane person would do
There's also one that I mentioned during the stream called "Trench Crusade".
Basically, more towards World War 1, but essentially the Templars messing up and opening a portal to hell, and you have all of the churches uniting and fighting hell. It's a very interesting concept, and it's very very very very Grim dark
Fun Fact, There is a GUNPLA tabletop game. Fanmade but if you wanna play a wargame with your japanimie stompy robots, it is there.
Mobile Suit Skirmish. I got it all nicely printed out and put together.
@@LittleIAO My man! Thank you for reminding me what the name was. It was at the back of my head.
sounds like insider trading
Damn she sold her shares for $700k !! She Can FINALLY Buy a Necron Army !!!
Not quite mate. That is 700000 DOLLARS, she'd surely need 700000 POUNDS for a full army.
@@AndrewFishman 🤣
I’m not ready to start taking victory laps until we get an official statement of apology, retraction of the fake lore, and promise to respect the real fans above the tourists. That said, this does seem like evidence we’ve drawn metaphorical blood.
For me, even if they did all that, I would need years of proof of them actively going with their lore and sticking to it and completely dropping every single damn woke aspect possible before I even have an iota of a second of a thought about coming back
It would just be a bunch of lies. As long as the same people are there they will try.
No, we need a death and rebirth of the brand at this point
I was told the rumour that GW claimed that White wolf committed self delete, because they killed the dark world by changing the game suddenly under their fan base noses. By bringing forth the end times and re-booting to the new dark world. If this is true then that would be very ironic for many reason's many times. This debacle would be the last in a line of missteps and the worst because who can forgive woke?
There's also Chronopia from the 90s coming back, right now with perfect timing...
Damn not even a week
People do realise she resigned back in January before any of this was announced right? She bought the share at 65p, she is selling it at a high. Which makes sense
6:51 Battletech is still a good option. It is true that CGL has gone full Woko Haram, but they only hold the license currently, they do not own Battletech like GW owns Warhammer IP. The REAL Battletech community has kept the IP alive for DECADES on their own when things were looking bleak. Also, the rules don't really change, and proxies are baked into the rules and accepted (Buy/make STLs and 3D print to your heart's content, or buy 3rd party minis). There are so many secondary markets and PDF files floating around that you do not need to give 1 red cent to the CGL psychos to fully enjoy Battletech. If you like the idea of Big stompy robots and Game of Thrones in space then Battletech has you covered. The game can be all the way down to the small unit level and you can even scale it up to intergalactic campaigns with dropships, aerospace fighters, add in combined arms, infantry, tanks, vtols, you name it. Best part, NONE of your models are ever made obsolete and you can pretty much play anything with any faction and paint them how you want. The only thing limiting you is what era you decide you want to play (like if you want to play pre-Clan invasion you would just not use Clan tech).
If you're a normal person that just wants to enjoy a hobby seek out the Helm Memory Core discord server. We'll hook you up.
Rats & sinking ships, anyone?
If only all the staff pushing The Message would follow suit.
Her selling is gonna cause mass panic selling. I wonder how low the stock will be by the end of the week
I think OPR and other games are going to get some increased use. Personally loving Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika by Privateer Press at this point.
Interesting to see what GW does next given the writing on the wall. They either ignore it and keep losing out, or change tack and some clearer heads prevail.
Who did she sell them to? If her shares were bought by either Blackrock and/or Vanguard (the two DEI investors who each own 11% of the company), then that's BAD. Because now these two have more influence over the direction the company takes.
The devil's in the details, lads.
Don't pay GW for any more products, buy shares of them so that we can have a voice in what direction the company takes.
Love the renegade background music. Never change that pleas
Imagine joining the fandom when this controversy hit and having no idea why everyone is so upset.
I don’t play it anymore but Bolt Action is a really fun game that reminds me a lot of older 40k but with an amazing alternative activation mechanic involving dice in a bag.
Worth a look if you fancy something different that is unlikely to be turned woke, unless they want to upset a bunch of history buffs.
When the engineer gets into the life pod first? Oh yeah. Everythings NOT good
I noticed that even mini pricing, on brand new items, is cheaper on ebay with shipping that GW's own website with shipping!
Use 3D printers to bring back the sexyness to the slaanesh daemonettes, the sisters of battle and female Inquisitors that GW has been taking away from us.
This isn't in response to anything recently. This was planned and announced back in January (publicly, so internally probably even longer ago)
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
Don't give up on your hobby because it "fell". You're the hobby, it only falls when you do.
With respect asmo, just cause it’s historical, does not mean the woke won’t go for it if it is popular enough.
One of my buddies who shows me and others a bunch of historical board games, has told me that many a creator and such do lean politically towards the woke, but for the most part have kept it out of their work.
But we have been through this song and dance before. As we have seen with historical video games, the woke aren’t above trying to subvert it. And they have done so.
Keep that in mind.
Thats fair and sad, but I'm gonna enjoy it while it's not woke and hope I die before it becomes so. Rather not live in fear of it burning while I can still enjoy it.
She's dumping 2 3rds letting the price go back up as black rock and vanguard buy them and then selling the other third.
I have the AvP board game and wargame made by PRODOS before they folded into Archon studios. I have heaps of models before each faction, I'm even going to play my friend wuo has bolt action as a predator hunting his Japanese soldiers.
I stopped buying new codex's years ago, damn things are outdated before they even come out.
Also you get less too.
Remember the old Codex's filled with art and stories.
Now its just stats, a few short stories and tons of pictures of painted minis instead of artistic drawings.
GW: You will not be missed.
Will you miss my wallet?
GW won't be missed either. 3D printer goes brrrrttt 🤣
She just wanted to make a forgeworld order
Is there even anything left on the forgeworld website?
She can now afford a set of ten shoulder pads. And only 10.
3d print is a very good idea, ripping off rules or new lore isnt even worth it. with opr i am writing my own armies out of the old lore i know. and then it is up to us and our gaming groups to write our own campaigns, stories, lore. if we want something good we can also do it ourself. instead of spending and suffering from GW- just get creative yourself, that is what we try.
If you want weird scifi I highly recommend mantic's firefight. The game has alterating activations, a better command point style system, and the starter boxes are cheaper with more minis compared to gw for a game that uses roughly the same mini count for a match. Also you can buy stl's from them.
This is no letting the stock go even further down its spirale. Very very bad news for shareholders
0:20 bro is the Nathaniel Garo of the TH-cam 40 K fan base lol Just kidding but you definitely are one of the few remaining
Is crimson skies still a thing?
Given the recent trend in the stock market and word of GW's hair being pulled by vice entities, no smart people with good business acumen would want to associate him/herself with a business of questionable reputation. It simply doesn't bode well with the hard earned resume that's scratch built through sheer toil.
We can still play with the Old Lore, both 8th ed. Fantasy and 40k
Need a tabletop game where you fight against the hordes or woke mind-virus zombies
Alternatives: Infinity the game, Warpath, One Page Rules......
Don't worry about BattleTech we are fighting the good fight and will win.
Yeah, the BT Pride Anthology screams "Winning". Lessons from Charlie Sheen are paying off.
I know i said this already but Holy crap this is getting wilder and wilder.
If they hope to survive they have to pull up some online microtransactions battlefield shooter style games and more total war updates at least
So what happened in january? She gave them 12 months notice in january but i dont what was happening around that time bar some minor warcry announcements.
Internal stuff probably. Contract signing with Amazon perhaps
Simps of Silence on deck! In 4... 3... 2...
You have forgotten the Whorestodes brother! They will turn the tide of any battle
@@LucasPeter-rn6zm Sounds like some Slannesh Stuff.
HERESY!
That's not good. She knows way more than we do. It's probably going to get worse. In ways we can't imagine. Great.
I want 40k to keep going and to recover from all of this
GW: femstodies exist
Fanbase: Yarr Harr Fiddle-de-dee! *printer goes BRRRRR*
they look really confident dont they??
lmao.
Getting out before the shitshow fully hits.
For historics:
Warlord Games
Perry Miniatures
Victrix
Old Glory/Empress
All good starts, all relatively cheap for what your getting, particularly Warlord.
I use Warlord sprues (for Guard, Arbites, Inquisitor kitbashes etc.) because they are cheap but honestly Wargames Atlantic is the best for models.
Mantic Games - Warpath
is an amazing game with a lot of flexibility and damn good minis. Has a more refined feel than the Grim Dark but still very good!
I'm surprised you didn't mention Grimdark Future as rules.
“IT’S AFRAID!!!”
What about JoyToy, Mcfarlane and Bandai action figures? Should i stop buying them too? Cancel my space marine 2 preorder?
Pretty much.
Yes, and Pre Ordering Made sense back when you wanted to make sure your local store had a copy of the game for you on release day. Everything being digital now, you're just prepaying a company for a product that isn't finished/ could be delayed/ might be released buggy and broken.
Do you have any Friends with a 3d printer? Thingiverse and cults have free stls for the action figures + accessories.
As for Space Marine 2, the devs have already paid GW for the rights and Baulders Gate 3 proved that no community boycott will stop people buying it if the games good..
Ok then! I'll just buy second hand! My last ever order will be a Joytoy Gulliman from a middle man seller. The eternal fast begins!
Don't preorder video games. There is no reason to preorder games. More and more games come out half finished/baked and it sucks.
Was this before or after we heard in january 2024 that she was resigning as profits surged
Resigning and cashing out are different things, no?
Dar face at the start XD
so im legit new to warhammer. havent even finished painting an army. Whats she worried about?
It's implied by the video that this is in response to the backlash and impending fanbase boycott of woke infiltration into the company.
Selling her shares could suggest that she is seeking to cash out before their stock value plummets, due to losing so many customers over their recent mismanagement of lore and mistreatment of said customers.
That's why i just stick to fallout wasteland warefare and historical atm i haven't bought an GW stuff since 10th edition, it's the prices for me tbh so i just been painting my pile of shame.
I'll stick with Heavy Gear from Dream Pod 9. I use the old rules which are available in PDF on drivethrurpg and buy the current models.
damn 700k shit is going down hill fast. I keep telling people to stick it to gw, cause their pricing is dumb asf. They thought they'd charge more during and after co-vid....I only buy the books from 3rd parties, and 3d print everything.
What the hell are you paying $15 for a Zaku II for?
I picked up my army of them for $13 each. Mobile Suit Skirmish is a wonderful wargame.
dystopian wars looks pretty cool
It sucks because the minis are genuinely top quality. The best in the world even. But the pricing, the consistently just BAD game design, and now THIS. Ugh. Fuck it all. I'm out. If I ever want miniatures again I'm buying Vallejo paints and 3D printing.
I can only say be aware of anything doing with Osprey Games and Osprey Publishing. Since they have shown to push DEI politics.
Remember these books are made like 6 months earlier.....so like they new this in November basically.
Sure, but I believe the recent backlash is the implied reason for their sudden departure.
@astrovarius543 but didn't it say she announced she left in January, but pulling her stocks out now after the female custodes debacle.
I play titans and gw had bailed on titans being anything other than a oversized joke along time ago. And as far as editions goes 7th was as far as I went when I play.
Now they're gonna replace her with someone whi sees things their way.
BUY! BUY! BUY! Take over the Board of Directors!!!
Incoming Fire sale
is that Dust 1947
Sad pt is black rock and vanguard are just gonna buy more to have a bigger say in DEI and other bs
so GW is getting ready to go under
lol someone once said something about this
C&C Renegade music?
Genius move.
