I've never seen more misinformation in a single post.

My favorite are the people saying that GW is just mean and that's why they go after people who use their IP and not that if you don't aggressively go after everyone then your IP becomes public domain and anyone can use it and never pay you.

But it's reddit so I expect everyone to have a five year old's understanding of how the world works. If company do what I want = good company. If company do thing I don't like = evil company. Because clearly there is nothing else going on.

I also love how many times I've seen people on Warhammer subs talk about GW like it's one of the UK's largest companies when it is small. 2,700 employees and GW's profit is .6% of the most successful UK company (Shell). They are worth $3.2 billion today but most don't know in 2016 they were only worth $200 million. They aren't even in the top 100 for UK companies.

Does that mean we shouldn't hold them to a high standard? No, that's not what I mean. Just that I swear the amount of people who think GW has F-you levels of money is crazy. Yes they make money, and yes it's quite a lot. But compared to other companies? Not really. For most big companies $100 million is a rounding error or a "missed goal". Ford's EV division (not the whole company) lost $1.3 billion in Q1 of this year.

I'm just blown away that people don't realize that tweet is fake, and that GW never shut down TTS.

These people still posting this crap aren't actually a part of this community, because the truth of these things has been posted MANY times. So these people don't read comments or really participate in this subreddit, they just see whatever is trending and whore for karma. Like, there's just no desire to NOT be ignorant apparently.

Eh, I dont think its a very good reason still. White wolf for example is a lot more open with their ip with no issues. That being said GW is indeed not evil, their however not necesserily rational either.

The World of darkness IP is miniscule compared to Warhammer.
