Sound the Alarm? GW Internum Report Spurs Market Drop

By Rob Baer | January 16th, 2014 | Categories: Editorials

Good thing they got rid of the bits market huh?

I hope THIS is not the new program we’ve been hearing about from Games Workshop.

A mere six months after shit canning the bits/ sprue industry, in North America, GW sees its biggest drop in stock prices like, ever.

I’m not going to touch much on it cause its going to start hitting the net all over tonight, but a lot of people (mostly in North America) will probably lose their jobs, and stores will probably have to starting deal directly with England now. But this ladies and gentlemen is what is called a “free fall”.

To put it in simpler terms how much money do you think Apple would lose if its stocks went down 24% in one day?

Good news is, other companies keep gaining market share as Games Workshop continues to slide. -MBG
