Investing GW seems interesting.
We as gamers can mostly agree GW has done a horrible job with Public relations and setting up a viable long term business model. With the vast majority of it's claims in the CH vs GW lawsuit getting thrown out and being mostly defeated in it's efforts to dominate the market for 3rd Party Add-ons failing bad the question is what is GW plan in the long term going to be to address all the problems it's short term gains are creating?
Lets start with very random assessment.

Now the stocks seem to say otherwise here.

While this article (mostly locked sadly) is showing that GW is growing but other areas are starting to slack.

Seems even last year this topic was being worked over almost verbatim. (very good read in the comments)

Looking through the comments I came across this

"Today’s deal with Roadhouse is the ninth we know of, joining existing agreements with Creative Assembly, Slitherine, Zattikka, Rodeo, Full Control, Cynanide and Nomad Games. EA’s Mythic studio is closing down its F2P Warhammer title at the end of the month."
Can we as a community piece together all the titles out there in the works or being played?
Seems as you read all the investors they all come to the same general conclusion. GW Shares are a bit too pricey but with the profits steady for the last few years it might be worth it. They question the price hike increases but are willing to accept it for now as it's not showing overt hard to profits and GW is looking to be viable long term for now.
