The Cities of Death article and SoB codex next month are the start of that. In the coming months they are supposed to be putting out new SoM monster rules and all sorts of other things.<br /><br />Believe it when you see it, but if they do this it would at least make the magazine worth buying ewven if you don't get it early.

Losing a focal point like that for the community is devastating. So whilst I appreciate you sticking it to "the man" just remember who is getting hurt in your non-spending.

To get a boycott going does take time and campaigning. This starts in my corner of the internet and then snowballs as I promote it. <br /><br />Internet "nerds" actually make up a very large portion of the demigraphic GW sells their games to. So much so the designers and management are actually on the forums and blogs to see whats going on with the fans, clearly they are not paying great attention If you knew marketing you would also know this.<br /><br />SO basically what I am saying is you are a troll so shut your whore mouth. I usually like the free exchange of ideas, but i have had a bad day at work and your tone is mocking. I would not be surprised if you were a trolling GW employee. <br /><br />Traditionally when you subscribe to a magazine you get it before it reaches stores. not always, but I remember when I subscribed to white dwarf I always got it before the hobby shops did.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-76132925885249682732011-07-09T08:39:55.859-04:002011-07-09T08:39:55.859-04:00You are really right.

So getting a bunch of people to say they didn't get their white dwarf is so much more of an effective idea then a boycott of purchases? Yea that totally makes sense. Im fairly certain if a large group of people stopped buying things from the company for a bit of time they would notice. It wouldn't be "just a blip on the map".PG_Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166592603006281683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-51944659046647308162011-07-09T04:28:25.599-04:002011-07-09T04:28:25.599-04:00Firstly, when did they ever guarantee you would ge...Firstly, when did they ever guarantee you would get WD at home before you could get it in the store?<br /><br />Secondly, your boycotting idea won't make a damn bit of difference to them - enraged internet nerds only make up a very small portion of their global sales. They won't even notice the blip.<br /><br />Finally, if you want a protest that will hurt them and make them take notice, start a campaign for everyone who receives WD at home to say they haven't received their August issue, forcing GW to send a second copy out. THAT they will take notice of.<br /><br />So if you want to start a protest, do a proper one, don't just whine quietly in your little corner of the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-37161820140728469362011-07-09T03:58:56.992-04:002011-07-09T03:58:56.992-04:00Nope, it isn´t only white dwarf.
