Games Workshop are cunts.
So my nephew has recently decided to get into these role-playing (not the good kind) games, the sort where him and a bunch of other nerds buy little models, paint them up, pretend to be military geniuses, and generally wonder why girls won’t talk to them. OK, fine by me. He’s not my kid, and it keeps him indoors rather than out stabbing grannies, or sexting his teachers, or whatever kids his age get up to these days. Wasn’t my problem until he asked for a set of models for his birthday.
Now leaving aside what sort of cunt gets born in January, when you’re still skint from Christmas and the credit cards are due, the set he’s asked for costs £70. That’s seventy fucking quid for what turns out to be 5 tiny fucking knights on horseback. Well, ‘night mares’ as they’re officially called, which must’ve given the 50 year old virgins at GW a good laugh. Plastic knights I might add – not fucking gold. Though they might as well be gold as far as Games Workshop are concerned, since it turns out the rest of their range is equally expensive. It would have been cheaper if the little shit had taken up a coke habit instead.
Did a bit of digging around, and one of their models is – and I shit you not – £950. For a single model. Made of plastic. That you have to assemble and paint yourself. Fuck me, for £950 I’d expect the shag of a lifetime, and I’d want breakfast thrown in too.
Jesus Christ, I’m guessing the cunts at Games Workshop haven’t quite twigged that, initial startup costs and copyright infringement aside, any clever cunt with access to a half decent 3d printer and some quality plastic could buttfuck them out of existence. The only thing I’ll give them is that they’re a British company and, if anything, the rest of the world gets ripped off more than us. Utter, utter cunts.
