Ok with the financials being all over the interwebs, and most of us having read tons of articles on this subject, the question on everyone's mind is what now?
While I am a long way from a financial expert, I have gleaned that the majority of their stock loss is from licensing. Namely video games licensing. As most of us have played their video games, they never really translated well from the table-top. For me the table-top is my love, whether it is GW, Battletech, FoW or even PP. If we continue to see a decline in GW's stock, then we should worry that they might be going under, or trying for the rumored merger with a certain toy company. They had a lot of questionable fails this last 2 years which I am sure contributed greatly to this decline, the absolute failure of sales in their Hobbit line, the dismal sales of the Fantasy game, and massive disappointment that has accompanied at least three codexes. All table-top games though will suffer if GW fold's up shop. And it will just be a question of which company decides to step up at that point.
