The main quote of the article if you want to know the reason I posted this:
So unless this company policy changes (and I do not see that happening) .... Blood Bowl will rest in the hands of the fans to keep the tournaments and leagues alive and the independent companies to keep it alive with miniatures and accessories. So far both seem to be okay. We do run some risk of stagnation but we have some great companies trying to keep the game supported and some great players who run events to keep the interest. Was very pleased to see several first time faces at Chaos Cup this year for example.Maybe you think you’re a customer, or a potential customer, because you like playing games. But this is the important bit. This is the bit written in every Games Workshop annual report. The company’s mission statement is “we make the best fantasy miniatures in the world and sell them globally at a profit and we intend to do this forever.”
It does not mention games. In conversation, I’m told that the word “Game” in Games Workshop encourages the misconception that games are its business, but that only about 20% of Games Workshop’s customers are gamers. The rest are modellers and collectors. Maybe half of them think about playing now and then. The other half have no intention. People actually walk into the stores because they’re curious about modelling fantastic armies.
I posted this because I see posts here on occasion thinking GW will pick the game back up. This was the official word from the horse's mouth of the new company direction that made me sure now what they are doing.
