That doesn't mean that I am willing to fork over my money to them for "improved" rulesets that often just tinker a few rules for the sake of change and increased sales. Call me a leary, skeptical, or grumpy veteran, but I've been around long enough to realize that this new edition could likely lead to a splintering of the BB fanbase and further disillusionment of GW's business practices by BB fans.īottom line: Look, I get it, GW is a company focused on making money and this is how their business model operates. I tend to agree with that, and IMO Blood Bowl was one of GW's games that really approached "classic" status, primarily due to GW abandoning it for many years and the community optimizing the rules and team rosters into a set that has been recognized worldwide as the standard and utilized successfully from home games to local clubs to grand tournaments. I read in another post that one of the reasons GW's games will never achieve "classic" status is because GW continuously releases new editions of its rulesets to sell new versions and models instead of truly attempting to optimize/improve one ruleset for each game. Change for the sake of change is questionable at best, but change primarily for the purpose of profiting is often worse. They are not the target of a new edition.īefore quickly labeling dissenters as "grumpy veterans," perhaps those that are so eager to accept this new edition should consider that many of these "grumpy veterans" have been around the block a few times with GW's games and business model and have learned to be wary of the promises of a "better" "perfected" new ruleset.
Grumpy veterans will always see change as a bad thing, after all. As long as GW puts new stuff, it just means the game keeps being supported.Īs for who wants new rules.I'd say new players. What's the difference between a supported game and one that is left to fans is that the supported game is.supported. Who wants more teams? How many teams is enough? We have 31 teams already, now GW is piling on 2 more.
