From what I've gathered, they are very . . . corporate, and definitely have a tendency to push profits over people. This conversation is not just happening in fan circles, but also with former employees. Which is not good, but hardly a sin unique to GW.I've been playing Warhammer games for quite some time, but haven't dived deep into the online fandom because, well . . . GW fans are always complaining about something, or at least, a vocal subset of the fans are. It's tiring. I'm sure that many of the complaints have a basis in truth, but I'm also sure that many don't. GW fandom isn't unique in this way, but oof, the negativity is strong and too overwhelming for me.The current management is definitely turned up the frequency of the edition treadmill, and I have mixed thoughts. Each new edition IS an improvement over the previous, but they also do come rather quickly and I'm tiring of purchasing new, expensive books (even though they are beautifully done). My excitement is drained for the new Kill Team edition coming out soon, even though I love the concept of the game, I feel like I just bought the last version. Former GW staff have talked about GW's lack of focus on rules-crafting over pushing minis, and while they ARE a minis company, I think they would be better served taking a page from WotC's book and trying to slow down the edition treadmill with rules sets designed to last for a while. This lack is pushing me out of the hobby.</blockquote>
