Eh Tu Brute? GW Targets Online Sellers and Bits

By Rob Baer | March 16th, 2013 | Categories: Editorials

It’s been a long strange road to even get to this point folks, but you can rest assured this is not the last any of us will hear about this for a long while.

In true Shakespearean fashion GW has dropped another bomb, this time on the Ides of March.

More to come but for now, alea iacta est (the die has been cast).

What do you guys think? Now is the time to leave it in the comments! -MBG

Reported From BoLS

Games Workshop Partner Stores were told to get ready for a new policy update from GW today…

Stores across the United States held their breath and waited for the worst.  When the new policy finally came down the line it was clear what was being targeted.

GW Partner Stores were prohibited from breaking open GW product and from selling sub-components. What that means is no sprue-bitz sales for Partner Stores.

Now the bigger question is WHY?  GW has prohibited Partner Stores from operating online shopping carts for years, but sub-components were never bothered with, especially since GW shut down their own bits offerings many years ago.

Perhaps GW is planning on re-entering the bits business themselves?
