PETITION: Games Workshop and Change.Org
Thousands of concerned customers are sending Games Workshop a petition urging them to change their ways. Here’s the details:
One gamer has put together a formal petition to get the message to Games Workshop – Please Change Your Ways!
The Petition’s author is Evan “Gothmog” Valdyke who describes the project as follows:
“I did up a petition outlining a few core concerns the gaming community has with their business practices and how they should reflect upon them selves and how their strategy is not meeting customer desires or expectations.”
The Petition (a summarized version)
As competition from outside organizations grow and GW revenues and profits fall, your company seemingly continues to pursue a business model not in alignment with your customer base’s desires and expectations.
1- Support gamers, conventions, and tournaments, primarily through well-developed rules and encouraging competitive play.
2- Reduce the number of “Direct exclusive models” and support the FLGS/independent retailers.
3- Competitively price your products.
Advertisement4- Change your website to be hobby and gaming driven with a webstore option attached for support.
5- Conduct market research and increase player involvement.
