And they still will, if you never even bother to check any other games.
The few people who closely hold GW (the original owners) must love you.
Pity they don't treat you like they do.

The "meat-eaters" are basically cat-people. Read their fluff. Or not, I don't
care. I play GW games. For now.

Right. That's what keeps me here too. But I could form a gaming group if
need be - I've got two sons who play whatever I'm interested in (as long as
I also play what they're interested in - it's a fair trade). That's three, and
it's
a decent core.

It's very GW-specific. Other companies keep their product lines up a long time.Only
GW has this kind of a history of promoting and releasing games, and then
dropping them immediately, without any further support.

Insert repeat of above comment. The few people who own GW must loveyou. GW got me
at a good point too, and I have bought _bunches_ of goop
for epic and RT and 40k and spacehulk and god-save-me gorkamorka, but
somewhere on the horizon, there's other games, and game companies which
act like they have a stake in keeping my loyalty long term.
