Yes these crazy cowboys said it best when it comes to GW's constant invasion of gamer's rubber balloon knots and the gamer coming back for more. What are you talking about Death Salvo? We'll I'll tell you. We the gaming community of 40k have accepted GW being dicks. Not to just other companies, but to their own fan base as well as other who have no idea WTF 40k is or is about.

What BS. Especially from a company that that has taken parts from every other facet of entertainment for their gain.
Space Marines = was a term / character from a book in the 1930's!!! Starship Troopers anyone?
Alien/Aliens concept= NIDS and that was 1979!!!
Elves ( Return of the king and many more) circa 1940's!!!!
The list goes on and on.
Wait there's more!!!
The recent FAQ and Dark Angels release was discussed by probably the best 40k podcast of all time (11th company, http://www.tangtwo.com/11thcompany/ ). These guys are very tactical and game play oriented so fluff is only a bonus. They are about competition( and having fun competing). The verdict? Yeah GW you managed to make things more F'd up with the FAQ and showed that for $50 per codex you can't produce a edited document without massive errors! Oh and you upped the prices again for basic army crap. $60 for terminators????? $75 for the jet fighter church hybrid thingy. LOL
Neil from the 11th company also said something on a recent blog post about realizing who much time and effort we spend on a stupid game VS investing for retirement, exercising, or just making our lives better where it counts. That stuck with me a ton as I looked back on the 40k life devastating hobby.
So GW is making their rules suck more, raising the cost of models to the level of "Who the F#$K buys that to play a game!" and is so crazy jealous about anyone naming anything that even is close to what they have they are getting more bad press than if no one else knew what they are talking about.
One last thing for all to think about. In 3-6 months time GW will be raising prices again. OK enough ranting.
So back to our cowboys. How do I quite you GW? I'm not sure to be honest. I do have a problem as I can't quite 40k, but more and more I see the error of my ways thanks to GW.
So what have I done since It sounds like I hate GW ( I don't really just wish they'd stop being dicks )?
I haven't bought a single GW model in 2 months ( just the horrible written DA codex, I can't return a book or I would have ).
I took money away from my hobby fund and bought gym membership. (f#$k you Fat Death Salvo !)
I bought another game system and am learning to play. (you drove me into the arms of another )
I'm continuing to paint my privateer press models and learn warmahores. ( Games that have Whore in the name are GTG)
I enjoy gaming, but I need to learn that money talks and if I not happy with GW there are plenty of other companies that want me to spend money and time on their game system.
Now call your plumber and tell him sorry for clogging up the toilet with all the money you have been pissing away on GW .
