If you watch the video he says the policy caused him to take a $2500/month sales hit and wished he had another year to stay open.

Post by: Loranus on March 22, 2013, 01:49:00 PM: Yes because the new policy towards direct orders being 500$ only a month . He wished he could have stayed open a year longer pointing out towards plans towards closing the store and go directly to being just a video type site like beasts of war. Is it jus games workshop matt says no it just gave a push to closing sooner. They are closing their local store as well they were barely being profitable with the store the main source of income coming from the video vault memberships which were actually keeping the store afloat. It is bad yes they are losing a gaming location is it part games workshop's fault yes I won't deny that but it is not the only reason.
