Already had this video from Sargon showing the membership cancellations have already started to pour in.
It's not a financial decision as this WILL lose them money, the only unless on that is if this was required for the Amazon show everyone talked about..
Absolutely is not a financial decision. Even if it was GW would be the absolute worst one to make it given that a decent 3D printer nowadays costs less than a full army
Nothing that has happened in the last ten years has been a financial decision. This is 100% about power and influence. Money is not part of the equation. At all.
You cannot vote with your wallet.
I follow a guy that does just that. GW is attacking it's own ankle because it was stabbed by a spear.
I assume they will have less profit but GW is raking in a lot of money. They can afford it. At most they will blame Ukraine/ Russia for the reduce sales. Kind of sucks but average consumers don't care
I question their ability to weather the storm. The whole point of Warhammer is unapologetic excess. Femstodes carves out the heart of the setting. The core customers are the guys who buy all the stuff and attract normie attention, so if you lose them, you're killing the golden goose.
I wish that to be true but I doubt it. They will move slowly, will let this simmer for a while and do nothing with female custodes for a year and then push something else. They're already branching out in to games and soon movies. They're moving away from war games as their main thing.
I understand AOS is a success despite having the equivalent of female space marines.
The Stormcast in AoS are hardly important compared to space marines. Warhammer is swimming with female warriors anyway, both in fantasy and 40k. The problem with femstodes is that they're messing with a male niche that has been explicitly male forever.
As for games and movies, lol. GW is historically clumsy with game development and production. Without goodwill from the lore, they've got nothing competitive. TV and movie wise they're even worse. Outside of that you're looking at Henry Cavill's 40k show, and he is a true fan so he'll hold their feet to the fire if necessary.
