So FAQs are gone from GWs site

Post by Liquidedust »

As it says on the tin, GW removed all their FAQs and errata from their site . . . .

Or more optimistically, a whole set of new ones?
More likely just a blip.

A year back they updated all the FAQs. I'm guessing they might have an annual release of new FAQs.

Or maybe they didn't integrate it in the new site yet.

A full revamp of GW website.
The new website seems there only for selling products, i.e. models, paints & books.
No more gaming advice, no more tournament organization.
Specialist games are gone, including the models (Blood Bowl?).

Looking at their new website, I feel that GW is no longer a gaming company, it has downgraded to a model company.

I wonder what they say in White Dwarf last release?



Optimistic interpretation:
They split the website.
Specialist Games, gaming support material (tourney organization, FAQs), Hobby material (Golden Daemon model competition...) will be found somewhere else.


Pessimistic interpretation:
Someone in GW considered that GW need to concentrate on what gets directely some money, i.e. selling products.
Low selling products (Specialist Games), and all the burden of FAQs earn nothing and was discarded.

If that was the case, then our FAQ would become "the" official one, assuming we could organize and participate to a World league of Warhammer Gamers.

Just assuming they haven't been added yet. Someone on TWF said they inquired, and were told they don't know when of if they are coming back. I assume they are, just not sure when.

Frankly I'm expecting them to turn up in the edocuments section.

With a pricetag attached.

Hmmm.... Not sure about the pricetag, unless they would sell it as an update with more stuff added to it than just a FAQ.

I have a copy of the FAQs and I'm going to put them on the site for the time being. I'll post the links in a few minutes.
