Games Workshop Finally Finds a Way to Share its Valuable Collectibles with True Fans
In a stunning turn of events, Games Workshop has apparently learned from its past mistakes. The company's long-standing struggle to get its limited edition collectibles into the hands of fans, only to have them snapped up by resellers on pre-order, seems to be coming to an end.
The Horus Heresy novel series, in particular, has been plagued by this issue, with each new release selling out quickly and then being snatched up by resellers at inflated prices. The final book in the Siege of Terra series, End of Ruin, was even cancelled earlier this year due to a bot-induced meltdown on the company's website.
However, it appears that Games Workshop has had enough. The company has announced that its upcoming limited edition novel, End of Ruin, will be available for preorder on December 13, but with a twist: orders placed between then and December 24 will guarantee delivery of a copy to customers, rather than being sold out to resellers.
This new approach seems like a breath of fresh air for fans who have grown tired of the frustration and stress that comes with trying to get their hands on these collectibles. By making sure that its books are delivered directly to consumers, Games Workshop is taking a significant step towards changing the way it does business.
While some may lament the loss of exclusivity, the benefits to fans are clear: they'll have access to the collectible novels without the need to worry about them being snapped up by resellers. And for Games Workshop, this new approach could lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, which is essential for any business.
It's not too much to say that Games Workshop has finally learned its lesson when it comes to handling pre-orders. By prioritizing customer satisfaction over profit margins, the company is taking a bold step towards creating a more positive experience for fans. Only time will tell if this new approach pays off, but for now, it seems like a positive development for all involved.

! I mean, who wants to have their pre-order guarantee delivery? That's like giving the fanbase free money... or, in this case, a copy of the book they've been waiting months for. It completely undermines the whole exclusivity thing that made these collectibles so desirable in the first place. Now it just feels like another way for Games Workshop to milk fans dry... err, I mean, provide them with their hard-earned cash without even having to lift a finger.
. no more getting destroyed by resellers on pre-order. i was so frustrated when they cancelled end of ruin cuz of that website meltdown 
. and lets be real, if customers aren't happy, games workshop isn't gonna make it in the long run. it's about time they prioritized us over their profits 
? I'm not saying they're the most organized company in the world or anything, but come on, who needs exclusivity when you're just gonna mess it up and cancel releases anyway? 
The fact that they're now guaranteeing delivery to customers is a huge win for fans. It's about time they prioritized people over profits 
! By putting customer satisfaction first, Games Workshop can build trust with their fans and create a loyal community that will drive sales and growth 
. Kudos to them for listening to the feedback and making some positive changes #CustomerFirst #GamingWorkshop
they used to be so stressful trying to get those collectibles and now they're actually doing something about it... the fact that orders are guaranteed to be sent directly to customers is a game changer for me personally, no more stressing over whether my copy will even exist by the time i want it. and let's be real, who doesn't hate resellers pricing up items just because they can? this new approach is all about putting fans first and that's amazing 
so this new approach sounds like a total game changer...can't wait to see how it plays out in the future 
is it too much to hope that other companies will follow suit? 
. It makes sense for the company too, customer satisfaction is key after all! 
. let's see how this new approach plays out but i'm feelin' good about it 
It's like they're finally realizing that there's more to being a business than just making bank from scalpers.
! It's been super frustrating for us fans who just wanna cop the collectibles without breaking the bank or having them snatched up in an instant. This new approach is a game-changer (pun intended 
), it's like they're giving us fans a fair shot at getting our hands on these amazing books. I mean, who needs exclusivity when you can just have access to the product without all the drama? It's gonna be awesome to see what happens next, but for now, I'm hyped that Games Workshop is putting the customers first 
.
. what if games workshop gets overwhelmed with orders and can't fulfill them all? wouldn't that just lead to more stress for fans? 
and what about the exclusivity factor? isn't that what makes these collectibles so desirable in the first place? 
. let's see if it actually works out, but imo it's a huge step forward for the company 
They're finally listening to us, I guess 
. Less stress for us, more happiness all around 
It's gonna be so cool to just have my book, you know? 
! No more stressin bout resellers takin all the good stuff or cancelin books cuz of bots
