Price Rises and the Community

Wondering how this one guy is supposed to introduce new gamers while operating the till for sales.

They'll be like "real" wargames shops

[fsn]

I think I'd prefer it. Never go into the shops nowadays because of the attitude of the assistants. If they're too busy staffing the till, then I can perhaps have a look around without being harassed.

Though I will probably never get over the self loathing.

  So it begins, the sackings start at they who shall not be named.Its confirmed that its staff in HQ America and Europe are finished,except Germany no news as yet,or Australia. White dwarf is gone to be replaced by a weekly newspaper in stores and possibly a monthly rag of sorts. Hit squads of spaca manic managers in black capes are to go into stores and give pep talks and incentives to staff to increase sales{bully and threaten with loss of said job} or be replaced.also looks like games day will go to.Looks like they might be a management fall on your sword contest in the offing to,or perhaps not.

See my previous post: All continental European HQs are being shut. Panic?

I conclude we all agree that the potential impact on the rare collection of gents of us is minimal....unless of course Leon trades his spare X Box Controller for the license to produce and sell Spehs Marihns in the very near future. But I trust Adele to prevent this mis-investment

Good grief !! .....I know I'm completely out of touch....But that, I find staggering.
It was one of the most important things in my day......
But didn't someone say earlier it had simply turned into a monthly catalogue ?
Dearie dearie me.

First Games Workshop shop I went into only seemed to have one member of staff - Dalling Road, Hammersmith back in ... erm ... nineteen canteen Back to their roots then!

While I don't buy from them any more they have been a force in bringing Wargaming into the public consciousness and I think the hobby will lose something if they go, though I'm certainly not writing them off as dead and buried yet by any means.

Looking round shows and non-GW shops there are depressingly few under thirties around, compared with when I came in to the hobby. Also a lot of old fogeys, which is also depressing but only due to the realisation that I am one of those old fogeys

I shall watch developments with interest.
