PP doing a GW for OLR?

[Lexington]

Yup I don't have a problem with it either really, just ironinc because all the PP fanboys got so smug when GW did it.

Given that Warmachine didn't even exist when GW did this, that's a little difficult to believe. But, of course, there's no evil too great or too impossible for someone once you've mentally labelled them "outgroup," so...

[Mr Mystery]

Yeah it did.

I was on Dakkadakka at the time, putting it between 2006 and 2010. Roughly.

My memory might be incorrect but I thought it was around 2008-2010 that GW did that... I could very well be wrong though so feel free to correct me!

[CoffeeGrunt]

Hasn't Warmachine been around for quite a while now? At least, in America it has.

[Mr Mystery]

I was playing it as far back as 2002, and I'm fairly sure it came out around....2000, 2001? Ish?

EDIT - 2003, according to Wikipedia, so I stand corrected. My days were the early days anyways

It was [URL="http://icv2.com/articles/games/view/5173/origins-award-winners-for-2003"]winning awards in '03[/URL], so it must predate that, or at least have been released in '03 at the latest. [URL="http://icv2.com/articles/games/view/5173/origins-award-winners-for-2003"]Wikipedia has it as having been released in '03[/URL], which sounds about right given what I've heard from long-time players.

When did GW have their online retailer blitzkrieg? The Chapterhouse period, right? What was that, 2013? Significantly more recently, IIRC.

[Mr Mystery]

Online Retailer thing for GW was a good bit earlier than 2003.

I was definitely posting about on Dakkadakka though - so I'd say between 2005 and 2010, roughly.

To be honest the poeple I was referring to may not have ever even played Warmachine. It just that they always seem to mention it in there "GW killed my dog, but PP love me so that's why I moved to Warmachine" post that pop up on the frontpage every 2 minutes. It highly possible as they then never seem to post on the Warmachine posts. They're like bleedin vegans.

Seriously it was getting bloody tedious for a while, I don't mind PP or Warmachine but I don't what to keep having to see people go on about it in GW threads.

I think you mean later than 2003. They certainly didn't have said policy back then. They didn't really think that much about online back then they didn't even have computer in their stores till after 2003.
