GW Store Closing, Patents, and The Future of Gaming 3

Back on May 31st I wrote Games Workshop New Store & The Future of Gaming. It drew heavily from then recent conversations I had with game store owners and a great blog article, Predictions: 2007: The Game Industry, written by Ryan S. Dancey.

On June 1st I wrote Addendum: The Future of Gaming 2. That released new information, with my observations, drawn from another Ryan S. Dancey article entitled Followup: 2007 Game Industry Predictions 2.

If you haven’t read those articles before I suggest you do. They provide the background information to bring you up to date for this article.

In Massachusetts there are 3 Games Workshop stores. One is in Harvard Square in Cambridge, yes near that Harvard. One is in Danvers in the Liberty Tree Mall. The last one is in Natick in the Natick Mall. I found out last night that GW Harvard Square will be closed within a week. A close friend of mine is friends with one of that store’s employees who passed on the information. To verify the information I went to the forum of Danger Planet Games and found they have a GW Store in Harvard Square closing. Please read that thread for more information.

I don’t know the reason for GW Harvard Sq.’s closing but I do know there is a sign in the window telling people to go to Danger Planet for good gaming and GW products. There is irony here because GW has screwed Danger Planet over so many times that GW and DP are in somewhat of a feud, or so my friends term it. As such DP has removed all GW product from their store excepting a small section at the back of the store for some 40k product.
