I *used* to love GW. I used to be a huge fan of theirs since they supplied me my fix. However after seeing them treat the owners (who happened to be my friends) of three separate LGStores as garbage, I had to finally see things for what they were. GW doesn't care about the hobby - they only care about the bottom line. Its hard for me to *hate* them because I realize that GW is a corporation beholden to shareholders and I can understand how some of their decisions look great on short term bi-annual statements - However I believe that GW as a corporation has lost sight of what made them a huge success initially. They've certainly become arrogant in actions and words. They don't seem to want to listen to their customer base, and they seem set on cutting costs in a way that is most detrimental to the community (closing/shrinking stores instead of getting rid of middle management).



For those reasons I've not felt compelled to defend the actions of GW in at least the last 2 years.
