The Business: Diamond Is Dead

As most Game Stores are also Comic Shops, and thus work through Diamond, this means RETAIL IS FUCKED!

This is, again, an Outside Context problem making itself felt in Tabletop. Conventional Play hit hardest; again, the titans can tank this (Wizards and Games Workshop), and the very small can dodge it, but everyone else takes it to the face. This is going to knock retail stores and publishers alike out of the fight for good, and those that survive will be rendered weak as a consequence; don't be surprised if some of those survivors take the hint and quit while they still can.

I keep telling you that commercial operations are no longer viable. Here's more receipts. Fucking listen to me this time! Either you bloat up and follow WOTC and GW's way out, or you quit commercial action and revert to being a non-commercial hobby pursuit. Nothing else is going to work anymore.
