So "GW the distributor" shouldn't care. because yes, GW will sell more product in the long run via the 3rd party online stores.

The Problem is "GW the retailer" thinks they are fighting the "evil online stores that steal business from your FLGS" -- this is evident from the letter Matt of Miniwargaming was reading. The problem is that it's not the Online stores killing the FLGS, it's the pricing hikes....and other things. Look I could write a white paper on this move. It's just bad business. They are an old company. That's the problem. This is 2013. not 1987. change with the technology or sink.
