The grant recognises that Warhammer/Games Workshop is big business and as the MCU has shown the transmedia approach is fascinating from a marketing and business standpoint.So what do you all think? Anyone else doing 'games' related research? <a href="https://www.wargamer.com/warhammer-40k/phd-funded" target="_blank">It's now possible to get a PhD in Warhammer studies (and get paid for it)</a></blockquote>
