They hadn't done it when this poll was being canvassed, but destroying their own fantasy campaign world sorta lost me… |

A lot of things on the list I don'r personally like – but considering that they are the largest and most profitable figure company in the world (AFAIK) I can't really call them "mistakes". Had they continued to stock Call of Cthulhu, and cover it in White Dwarf, would they have been even more successful ? Probably not. |

With 20th Maine. I don't care for GW, but some of the things which annoy me most are probably making them a ton of money. |

Most of these to be honest :) But shouldn't that be "Arrogant attitude that they invented the wargaming hobby" full stop? I still hear that sort of talk from young players when they see any war-game at all . . . |

I lost interest when they changed over to plastics for everything. The style of game the rules dictated didn't help either. Chris |

"They hadn't done it when this poll was being canvassed, but destroying their own fantasy campaign world sorta lost me…" Financially that was certainly not an error though. I think Finecast was a big mistake for them, especially how it was launched. The initial releases were terrible, full of bubbles and holes, half unusable. It was kind of a disaster and turned a lot of people, including me, off of it forever. If a customer hadn't sent me some LotR figures in fine cast that were amazing I would never have bought any again. I'm with 20th maine for the most part too. Ending the Bitz program was annoying but I can see how doing that was just not very profitable for them. It was great for Inquisitor though. |

Although I will say that with the amount of extra Bitz left over from plastic frames I'm certainly not missing it. |

Killing the Old Worls has effectively cut three quarters of the players here |

Another list that needed to be broken down into 2-3 lists. So many things to choose from. |

i had at least 10 marked and finally came up with roughly five. could have gone 3 rounds on this, although some of these are redundant. |
