I found this on Reddit, any thoughts from the Warhammer heads(?)?

Warmachine Mk 3 went down in flames for less.
If you're still spending money on GW after this and AoS and NuMarines... you probably aren't on this site.
I will continue to play like I have a pair long after all these companies are bankrupt.
Pretty sure you can buy a decent 3d primter for less than the cost of a WH army now. Yar har, fiddle dee dee...
The upside to that is that Warmachine/Hordes models are so cheap it's crazy, I've picked up entire armies worth of units for pennies. Privateer Press themselves were selling their entire legacy warhouse stock for 75-95% a couple months ago.
If the same happens to GW, so be it, there's a few things I'd still like to grab that would just be too much hassle to 3d print.
The first step to killing a franchise is that it must be dead to you.
Check my house, you'll find not one piece of 40k merch. Not even that 40k munchkin game or the FFG sourcebooks. Not even the Cain books.
Eh I disagree, again using Warmachine as an example, that franchise is pretty much dead.
Now whether I pick up older models for pennies from secondhand sellers will not change that an iota. They're not seeing any of that money and it's only going to be used with games with my mates. If Warhammer goes the same way, I'm not going to unilaterally throw all my 40k stuff away, there's 40+ years of rulesets and lore there you can interact with and not give GW a dime.
That's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting you throw it all away NOW.
