Epic is far superior to 40K as a game, and to be honest I've seen more of it being played lately than anything else.

Heh. Garbage that was paying their bills apparently.
I'll give it proper acknowledgement. It is too little, too late. Moreover, you cannot build a castle on a foundation of sand. The rules are awful. People are doing their best to cope with them,...
I voted yes simply because it doesn't really matter. :D
Oh, I have faith someone will pipe up to tell us how this means nothing, is all part of their clever restructuring plan, yadda yadda yadda. They are as reliable as Old Faithful. :D
Always useful to follow the trends:

Was I? :D I will actually go back and quote from the appropriate post when I'm not at work and then match it to the appropriate report. However, I thought you might enjoy the bit below:

here you go... enjoy...

You guys are a hoot. Customer interaction is massively overrated? :D Shall we take our bets now on the next report, i.e. on how much sales will dip again? I was correct the last three. Who wants...
Yep. Mr. Mystery states above that the game is played for nothing so you have nothing to lose even when it is a going to be a blowout. He must value his time much less than I do. Playing a war game...
I can attest that is why it is dead in the water in all the areas I have seen. I can't speak for the U.K. but in the U.S. the community is driven by pick up games and tournaments at a LGS. The lack...
Of all the silliness, you can pick just one nonsensical thing? :D There is very little in the setting that makes any sense at all. It is exactly what it started out as, an eclectic mix of poorly...
I don't think Proxies or "counts as" are an issue at all. It has never been in any of the venues I play in. Playing the game is, after all, about playing the game. It could be done with bottle...
My view is the same it has been for the last four years. Games Workshop has lost its way. It started as a company that makes GAMES. It is right there in the name. They were partnered with another...
I was going to wait a few days to post that one, to give people time to comment on (or spin) the first one. But since you already put it out there, we might as well get down to the nitty gritty and...
I think this article sums a lot of things up by someone with no internal (i.e. Player or Employee) bias:

Right prior to my move from Texas (and before AOS) that was the case there too. Bolt Action was replacing 40K with all the old guard.
You are in Portland? Sheesh. I'm in Bangor. I didn't notice any particular negative effect in the break in releases for 40K, but then again... I think it is tournaments that drive interest. ...
More to the point... for the last year... 'winter was coming' and now 'WINTER IS HERE.' :D By all accounts the best thing that could happen to Games Workshop would have been for the new Star Wars...

They don't lower expectations for us (the consumer). They don't care what we think. ...
They have already started to lower expectations... again. According to the recent releases, they claim things are on track of company expectations but continue to blame currency exchange for a...
Can I scientifically prove it? No. If nothing you are seeing has any affect on you whatsoever... there is literally nothing I could point at that would convince you otherwise. I expect when things...
Look around? We should have another financial report too. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDAmPIq29ro
I'm not attempting to obfuscate anything. I've stated my clear belief and trends I observe. I don't need to paint GW as incompetent. They don't need any help from me. :)
I can explain the lack of discussion by the fact that most of the other games have official websites and forums they support (and those are not dead). You guys can keep spinning things to make...
