Why is Games Workshop such a ♥♥♥♥ lately?

[Fleshbits]

How many titles are there now with Warhammer in the title?

I feel like I need a condom when interacting with Games Workshop. They're being so ♥♥♥♥♥y, just handing out licenses to any Joe that says Hi. Reminds me of my ex.

That's business. They're basically taking the scattershot approach. YOu have to realize that their table top business has been ina buit of a slump so they're likely portioning out licenses to various developers hoping the plethora of games will raise awareness of the source material and translate into increased tabletop gear sales.

I rarely see Warhammer titles released by Joe.
Slitherine owns some licences for some series you can find all of them on Steam and sometimes good Bundlestar offers.
The recently released Total War game isn't produced by Joe either.
And there is something interesting in the making:

I think it's a good thing that the license is not used by just one publisher but spread around different developers / publishers. Every gamer has her / his own taste.

Aside from the slew of exploitative phone games that keep creeping onto Steam because apparently some people don't have phones, there's only been 1 bad game that I know about. Even then, Regicide only failed because arcadey chess was a bad idea to begin with.

Really? I haven't enjoyed a game with Warhammer in the title since Dawn of War 1.
I'm a picky bastard I guess.

To be fair. the Dawn of War 1 games, while innovative, where a poorly balanced mess of an RTS. And I say this as someone who loved playing them,

Being a poorly balanced mess is what made games fun!

Like I said. I enjoyed the squidggey bits out of it though It still didn't come close to star craft or Warcraft 3. Still good and fun mind you and certainly better than the C&C games.

DoW1 was pretty good. DoW2 just felt like an inferior Company of Heroes.
