The company in question, Games Workshop, has a reputation for being even more draconian than Apple in mistreating customers while exploiting the large fan base. That's what happens when you have products that make your users wear pink goggles and conjure an idealistic image about them.

I heard about that about them also. I don't know much about that forum, but I would think that anything that encourages your customers to be more involved in your product would be a good thing.

Tangential point: I don't get it... the guy makes fantasy games and he's never heard of Warhammer? Or was that irony that I somehow didn't get?

If it is supposed to be irony, I didn't get it either.

This sounds to me like the tabletop game lawyers, who have always been litigious given their money making scheme is selling miniatures worth pennies for pounds, stepping on the shoes of the MMORPG. Then again afaik the MMORPG has turned into a flop.

I think that's just a stance to further his ploy of promoting his new clone of a four year old webgame.
