This is the last time I will post an update on this, so do not worry about future spam. Six months-ish since this petition closed. I was never contacted by the notoriously secretive GW. They never released any press statements IRT this petition. Just the typical fan aloofness. Detractors of this said "They will never listen". "GW doesn't care about the fans." "This is pointless." "This is hopeless." I countered with "The point is to at least be heard. To at least make someone step back at GW and consider our side of the equation. 10,000 people's opinion should at least be considered." So lets take a look at a few things that have happened since Mr. Rountree became CEO (which happened sometime after we passed 10,000 signatures IIRC) and in particular, things that have happened lately. It turns out, maybe we were heard after all. 1- GW announced it is bringing back specialist games 2- GW releases numerous low price "Start collecting" sets 3- GW develops for release low price introductory sets (http://bit.ly/1Ro7xWO) 4- GW plans a return to organized play (tournaments, campaigns and events) and has even attended several conventions, both for players and industry, already (http://bit.ly/1UFh0bk) 5- Both GW and Forge World launch official Facebook pages, finally entering the social media scene 6- Numerous board games with equal quality models to the tabletop game and even rules for table top (Execution force, Betrayal at Calth, Overkill, Lost Patrol) at varying price points and all "good deals" 7- The first FAQs in nearly 2 years (several in December) So if you compare some of these things to what the points of the petition were, it starts seeming like the petition was more of a to do list. And if not a to do list, at least a list of concerns that were considered when making decisions. And as I told the detractors, that was the point of this. You all made it a reality. Thank you. Maybe I am reading to much into this all, but maybe we did actually get through to them, and they are taking our feedback and implementing it. So maybe that is victory after all? Either way, thank you for your support. It is an exciting time for the hobby. Get out there and enjoy it. #bringinghobbyback
