    Ok, i know im gonna get alot of flaring from this, but i just thought i should ask this because my friends and me have been argueing about this alot, i personnaly feel games workshop is in fact evil.

    Examples: they're minatures are FAR overpriced (but its their choice howe much they cost) and GW is notorious for stealing uncopyrighted ideas then copywriting them and sueing the company with the original idea. now, GW has come up with some very original ideas, but i thought i should mention that.

    something that i found funny though was that GW tried to do that to a company with another chaos god (5th one) and while GW was trying to get the idea copywrited the other company got it copywrited and then sued GW....

    The minatures are way to expensive, I collected for years until i realised just how much money id spent on plastic figurines rofl. As for copyright, most of the ideas are from mythology, so its not really owned by anyone.

    It's not evil to sell overpriced products, but it's stupid to buy them. :p

    I too have considered buying GW products, but I came to realize that it's not my cup of tea. I'm not blaming people who choose otherwise, since there is certain charm in it.

    wow, i just heard that GW is having some major finacial problems... this might mean a decrease in product price, im not sure if this is good or bad, cuz they hve to close down stores, so you MIGHT get a lower price, but the availibility is gonna be lower :p they may just crank the prices up (bad idea) but hey....
