They did beta testing?RoterSternHochdahl wrote:Time for another rant against paid betatesting?

So instead of crowdfunding like other companies, GW does crowdtesting (and it seems crowdproofreading too)? And the crowd pays for it!Vothriller wrote:I think we the buyers are the actual beta-testers..lunchmoney wrote: They did beta testing?
Oh man, can you imagine the backlash against GW if they tried crowdfunding? Other established companies have tried, and for the most part get savaged online by people who think they are just being greedy and using Kickstarter and the likes to avoid 90% of the risk.Steam Ball wrote:So instead of crowdfunding like other companies, GW does crowdtesting (and it seems crowdproofreading too)?

I understand that some of the veteran players of the game might feel a little disenfranchised with this version of the game - but the level of vitriol I have heard/seen is never going to help. This version was clearly made with the intent to get more people into the game, which I think is a great thing and will probably work. If the old school Coaches were open and supportive of the new blood, I can't see a reason why the Vets. couldn't say "So you are enjoying the game? Well, this is the way it is played Competitively - it's a little different, but more rewarding/skillful/fun/etc..."Digger Goreman wrote:Rhetorical question: did anyone really think granny gave a skaven's arse bout anything but your money?!

In my opinion, that really only works with computer games.Vothriller wrote:I think we the buyers are the actual beta-testers..
I've been told that the digital versions of the rulebooks will be updated, but I don't have an ETA on that. GW has updated 40k Codexes in the past, so I believe what I've been told.Regash wrote:Seriously?

Makes me wonder if you get something that is corrected or still have to go wth the errata...
After the f*cked up printed rules, I at least expect a corrected and free PDF!
Patents (procedures, formulas, etc) are time limited; Copyright (books, films, etc) is also time limited, it just gets retroactively extended over and over so it has become forever (see extensions like Mickey Mouse Protection Act). Neither forces you to sue. Trademark (logos, brands, etc) means you must defend, or lose it. Those are more or less the general terms worldwide.Regash wrote:I kind of suspect that there is a law or something that makes you lose rights for an IP if you don't release stuff in so and so many years and this was just a quick shot to prevent losing the BB IP.
(Again, I suspect that, I'm probably completely wrong.)

Wasn't that the reason for the group being 3 and not just 1? By mixing and converting all 3 are possible.Shteve0 wrote:No miniatures in the gw back catalogue.burgun824 wrote:Sooooooo...any word on why Slann got the exclusive boot? I don't really see it being talked about on here.
