YOU'LL TAKE THE APP AND YOU'LL LIKE IT.
NO YOU CAN'T READ YOUR BOOKS OUTSIDE THE APP.
NO YOU WON'T OWN WHAT YOUR PURCHASE.
ONLY THE OFFICIAL APP FOR OFFICIAL WARHAMMER PRODUCTS!

This should have been a thing before Covid hit ngl.

Have you tried not playing Warhammer 40k?
>>
>>97578299
I hate this.

>>97578353
But I like 40K...
>>
>buys old codecies off ebay
U mad James?
>>
>>97578635
Don't think it'll effect a codex release
>>
>>97578299
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank GW for its commitment to keeping me from buying their products. Not like I need any more motivation, given the state of modern Warhammer, but still.

Yeah, but what about the free stuff that they're offering?

What about it?

>can't read books outside the app
lolwut
>>
Because I want to read a book on my phone instead of my ereader with e-ink display custom made for reading. Thanks GW!

This is why you're cattle, goyim
>>
>>97579220
GW have made no word on if you can download a book via the app, or if its only readable in the app (most likely the latter)

if its only readable via the app, it means that yeah, you can't read it outside the app (e.g if you have no internet), nor do you own a copy, so if the app goes down for any reason at all, you can't read the book you purchased

whereas previously you could just download it and read it whenever you want
>>
>>97579443
Why would anyone even bother?
>>
>>97579449
because you're forced to, GW will most likely stop selling epubs independently, and forcing you to buy them (and use them) in the app
>>
>>97579466
If you buy them but don't own them then pirating them isn't stealing
>>
Never bought a BL book and I never will, don't care as long as someone figures out how to pirate it
>>
>>97579449
>>97579472
This is a zoomers who has only lived with cloud interface lodged in their taint.
>>
>>97578299
I don't see the problem, most retards don't read BL books in the first place they listen to the audio book so nothing changes.

3rd party sellers can still sell the file for your ereaders
>>
>>97579466
You can still copy the text and make your own epub
>>
>>97578941
I have the vast majority of the black library in epub format already
Why would I want a few random books for free?
>>
>>97578493
>I like 40K
You are clinically retarded.

Granted I’ve been looking into mini/setting agnostic games and 3d printing more than ever.

I just find it annoying how much /awg/fags will base their entire personality on enjoying other stuff that isn’t the most popular top dog of the medium.

And excuse the companies of alternative wargames making bad decisions because they aren’t heckin’ warhammer.

See privateer press making decisions that led them to ruining warmahordes and trench crusade fans defending factory fortress at every bad choice they make.

It’ll just make pirating slightly harder. A tiny speed hump rather than an open highway. Meaningless to everyone but paypiggies. I sincerely doubt they actually care about piracy since it won’t stop that. They just want to harvest the paypig’s data.

wow, rude
