I haven’t heard this argument with stocks until this video and I would agree with you. However, GW has been making bad decisions because of the market share price for a while. I think even if it is coincidental then good. Either way, people need to stick to their beliefs and establish bar for quality story telling and lore
Thank you! I worked in financials for a few years and have been chuckling to myself over all the "GW are down cos they're wOKe!" comments, it's nonsense. If anything, now is a great time to pick up some stock. 😂
Yup, agreed on this one 👍🏻. I’m not a fan of the direction of 40K, but these moves are algo driven….when the broader market starts to move down due to the geopolitical stuff, the bots start selling shares and some stock is a bigger priority sell.
Fun fact, everything they have for preorder the same week as this announcement has been sold out. Could argue due to low stock , but i actually know a lot of gaming communities around me where people are really into this stuff. So anyway you're wrong 😂
I think that female custodes were literally not a big deal. To the point one showed up in an offhand story in the codex: I think that's the opposite of woke, the Custodian happens to be female not the other way around. GW didn't think it seemed like a big deal, there's just people who cannot handle that Custodes aren't space marines in gold. Can't wait until those few guys wind down There's no way that's affecting GW stock 😂 I would chalk it up to things that matter like shortages, falling sales overall, etc.
Don't talk bollocks every hobby industry and entertainment has taken a massive hit from going down the same route as GW are just look at the cluster fuck Disney is in they are 2.6 billion in dept and the normies are noticing and not spending their money on people that actively hate them GW are at the back end of this trend and are going to be hit hard in the next year
@podger_minis yes it does if games workshop hadn't gone down the alphabet mafia kiddie fiddler e.s.g route this wouldn't of happened America in particular has had a massive problem in schools with the alphabet mafia and normie parents have noticed and it's all connected and a massive shit storm on X does have an effect on the stock market all it took was elon musk to try one toke of weed on the Joe rogan pod cast for tesla Stock to drop for 6 months and he had to have a drug test every day for a year
Nothing to do with the current "Boycott" as those screaming for it either don't spend at gw anyway or will buy regardless of "boycotting" Share went up due Covid, cost of living and price increases from.gw have pushed the customer base out.
Nah, noones screaming on our side of the fence. You're the one shittalking and howling into the Internet at anyone who'll listen. I've stopped buying GWs tat as have a LOT of other people I know. GW are just hiding their figures with price hikes and bailouts.
From Monday. Makes you wonder 🤔 Games Workshop Group PLC - Nottingham, England-based miniature wargames maker and retailer - Chief Financial Officer Rachel Tongue sells 7,500 shares at average £94.89, worth £711,698, on Friday last week. This reduces her holding to 3,691 shares, a 0.01% stake. Current stock price: 9,594.30 pence, up 0.7% 12-month change: down 1.5%
Ya, wouldn't it take at least a financial quarter of horrible sales to really affect anything? And I'm fairly sure that the people make the most noise about this where already dissatisfied with GW and are just taking the opportunity to vent.
The real question right here. This guy is showing cherrypicked figures under IKEA lighting but the single most educated person on GW finances ran for her life.
I like female custodes because they more effectively draw a line between space marines and custodes, It's easier to differentiate between 'mass produced super soldier' and 'introcate unique bodyguards and companions of the emperor' now with this pretty inconsequential change
I'm still gonna buy GW models because they're neat. How they fat fingered female custodes in the lore is big problem for me though. They could've introduced it in a better way and that would've been better to me personally, but a lot of the folks upset would have been upset no matter what The lore doesn't really matter to me though because the lore stopped after 7th edition to me. The lore and the game are made up so I can make up and tell the stories I want with my toy soldiers, its sort of like a TTRPG at this point
I was literally thinking about what army I was going to collect, then the female custodes happened and I changed my mind, lore is the main reason I care about Warhammer40k and If I see them messing up the lore I'm not giving them my money, I also play the game WH40 Boltgun, W40k inquisition martyr, Necromunda Hired and space bulk death wing , was really looking forward to space marine 2 and WH40 rogue trader but now im not sure if it worth getting them if Warhammer40k is slowly going to pander to activist types it seems appropriate to try to not get to invested in the series
the community may have moved the market if they all starting taking short positions or selling GW stock but somehow doubt the noise makers online were doing this... Geopolitics was driving most stock moves last week
I am very sceptical that this fallout will represent more than a pinprick to GW revenue. If you actually go to Warhammer World or a convention, the fanbase if anything, based on unscientific gut feeling, seems to skew -slightly- left-liberal and decent proportion of females too, artistic types. There is a fringe online rightwing phenomenon of conflating the God Emperor with Trump or some other "alpha" male. But I doubt these people are big GW spending customers to begin with.
@@JoelCR2 ... why? This is a publicly traded company. You can look t the index right now, week over week for several weeks its been rising. Post Femstodes, still rising.
@@Winter-Nine Yes, it has? GMWKF, measure from march it has been above it's former ticker. Look back 6 months and it has recovered all its December quarterly meeting losses. When indexing, and investing you don't look at DAYS. You look at WEEKS. And it is from march, up.
Claiming the stock is due to female custodes definitely feels silly at face value. So was this video though. Just being honest you basically didn’t say anything except “no they’re wrong because I disagree.”
You can really see the power of the GW fans as it has not only downed GW’s stocks but also the maket
Thats not how it works though. did you even watch the video?
@@end179 Woosh!
@@end179 I was able to test my latest prototype aerofoil off of this comment. Thanks.

I wish it was going down, make more outrage to get it back to 2022 £60 prices then buy and chill with 4% dividends.
YEAH BUT IT HAS TO BE BECAUSE OF FEMALE PLASTIC SOLDIERS BECAUSE I SAID SO AND I WANT TO FEEL VALIDATED, PODGER.
Down? Time to buy!

I am responding specifically to the moves in the last week or so which has nothing to do with wokeism

After numeroue bad movies and shows yes dinsey is starting to feel the effects
Disney has been making the bad moves consistently for a good number of years.

GW's stock probably won't take a real hit until their next querterly results and the one after that are due.

What your take on that lady selling a bunch of stock? Coincidence or something else?
The real question right here.

Nerds being nerds.
Thank you. I always really enjoy your videos, your mindset, attitude and outlook. gotta admit i was worried when i saw the thumbnail lol.

Absolutely big brain. Smartest Warhammer TH-camr.
Nice, someone with a head on their shoulders! Glad you see it for what it is
Astute review, but as pointed out share prices go up and down - would stay out of the stock market analysis - doesn't make your viewers HAPPY...

So basically it was a coincidence and we achieved absolutely nothing? And we cant do anything?

The only "fans" who are mad are a very loud and dumb minority who only got into the hobby due to God Emperor Trump memes

What the fucka re you talking about? Their stocks are increasing atm, been up week over week.
watch the video

It hasn't been up week on week.
