I was talking to Magnus about this las week, but it seems like there's going to be a new surge in popularity of Battletech on the tabletop as GW has finally found the straw that has broken the backs of a million camels. I just came across this video tonight and it looks like some big names such as Arch Warhammer and Tex are now talking about the cross-community exodus that is happening right now. It's a good conversation about the current situation and GW being morons and the appeal of Battletech to the lost souls of WH40k. I wonder if we'll start coming across any of these refugees in our gaming.
What's wrong with Arch? I've never found anything about him to be particularly outstanding in the field of douchery.
Reddit sums it up ( fairly ) well. https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/comments/ktfq9e/any_know_what_happened_to_arch_warhammer/
"...lots of accusations of racism/misogyny" This is why I give as much of a shit about Redditors' opinions of things as I do Twitter's.
If true, this is just going to push more people into other hobbies like Battletech. What odds are we betting on this being real or not? Reddit isn't a place I take at face value ever, but that doesn't mean nothing true is ever shared there.
I guess the NDA turned out to be true, but the evidence that proves it got some people's asses canned, so Arch pulled the video until the details are cleared up and who's actually at fault of screwing over who is more known and provable. Seems polite enough. Just gonna have to see if more people don't come out now that the horse has bolted out of the barn.
Man, GW is just falling apart. They couldn't even get their videos out to actually support Warhammer+. They have a single after action report video but no painting videos (for painting your minis completely black) and their animated series were just put back on hiatus. They're a friggen mess.
Might as well just change the name to Warham. They got the combative attitude, but everything else is just porking around.
