Retailers just got the news today in the form of the updated 2013 Retailer Policy: No online sales of GW products.
Thanks GW. Wonder how many people you just sent to the unemployment lines..
Hope everyone likes paying full SRP!

WTF this is a make or break thing for alot of people I know, any idea why they are doing this?, well looks like we need a new game.
Surely this should be in Wargames corporate discussion?

Well done GW. How to p##s off lots of your customers.
I didn't do it. You can't prove i did it. Ok I'm sorry send me the bill.
Is there any proof of this? Trust but verify being the reason I ask, and I can find no verification...
Its in the PDF document they just sent to all retailers. Can't post it now, but im sure someone will.
Basically, GW has been moving toward this for at least a year. They say online sales hurt the hobby, but what they really want is 100% of online profits at full markup. If they wanted to help the hobby, they would lower prices so more people could play.
While I pay full retail to support my local store on occasion (like 30% of the total) the majority of my purchases are made online at significantly less. I will not be able to support GW at all if the only option is MSRP. I just don't get $82 of joy from a Storm Raven.
My grasp of corporate law is next to useless, but surely there's a law somewhere that prohibits a company from using outside retailers whilst also banning them from using online sales. Can't think of any other example where this applies.
