With PP, I can buy ONE book and play up to 6 factions, each with more "HQ", unit, specialist and vehicules than any codexes have (do the count), for about 8 years, until they update the rules to deal with the inevitable bloat. THAT is why PP business model is TEN BILLION TIMES better than GW.
And Yes they can do whatever they want with it... But I will judge them accordingly too... Its just that saying that PP and GW have the same business model, is just ignorant. And the relation PP keeps with its player base, like by having open beta of the games, is just one of the best example of that.
