Today it seems that two of the biggest Warhammer blogs, Bell of Lost Souls and Faeit 212, were pulled down by Games Workshop. The reason? They showed photos from the next as yet unpublished issue of White Dwarf magazine. Now don't get me wrong, I can understand that Games Workshop want to be the ones to reveal the new toys and info but this is FREE advertising for them. That is really what our blogs are about, whether we are going through battle reports, new painting photos or showing info/rumours on the upcoming releases. It is all free advertising and the company needs to realise that.
Games Workshop's reputation is sliding further and further down with everything they do like this.
Rather than picking on the sites who recieve and then post this information, Games Workshop should be looking for the individuals who are leaking the info in the first place.
BOLS wasn't hit by GW, just badly timed technical issues. They put a post up about it last night
ReplyDeleteThat is good to know.
