Thirty five dollars for an e-book format Codex?
And it isn't even available as a PDF?
Please stop sending me this nonsensical blither, Games Workshop. If you want people to buy your stuff again you must start getting realistic about how much they have to pay. It simply isn't sustainable to ask people to fork over $70 for a rulebook that then requires at least one $50 codex before it can be used in a tournament. Then there are the armies that cost in the hundreds of dollars to acquire, and the hours needed to assemble and paint the bugger.
And now you are "offering" me the chance to invest in overpriced e-books in formats notorious for markup f*ckups, formats that won't travel well and require a proprietary reader to access?
Still not getting real, chaps. Your heyday is o'er and the hobby you built from nothing is now as moribund as the daft gothic universe you made up to house it all in.
And it all started so well, too.
I guess you all lost the thread, a fact obvious to some when you killed off the bits business. The whole point of the hobby to most of us was the customizing of the miniatures to personal standards using stock pieces from other minis. To have to buy the entire mini just to get an arm or the wings, though, is a plan for millionaires and idiots.
And when you did away with the custom casting business you killed my Imperial Guard army expansion plans. "EBay" said a GW rep when I asked how I was to source stuff. This after two decades of being warned away from "recasters" and fakes.
"Time to die", as Rutger Hauer once said.
