Why won't GW make a mobile game using table top 40k as a basis and selling units/ upgrades/ cosmetics for real dollery doos?
Something like you get a free HQ and 3 basic troop choices and them have to buy units from there.
Could learn to play from your toilet against humans or AI, and they could print money with a minimal investment on their part.
Also, i think it would expand their audience and help drive sales of miniatures .
Because that would require competent business leadership.

There is a mobile game already based of 40k.
But they ll never transfer the same tabletop ruleset for a VG, too scared of the competition that would arise.

That's not on android :(
There's several 40k mobile games, it just seems like a straight TT port would be the best thing.
I used to play star wars force collection and spent thousands on Line buying digital cards. I know people that spend hundreds a week on mobile games.
The market is there. I'm going to write my congressman about this.

The most ludicrous of notions.
What would they be scared of, clones? They're losing more money to chinaman copies than they would to imitator apps.

I think he means competition to the brick and mortar stores and their miniature sales.

Whatever they lost on each sale, they'd more than make up for in volume.

Why? The rules system is kinda shit, without the hobby element there's no reason to play unless you have zero other options for gaming.

Sorry anon. On the bright side there is a pc port. Just dig around.

Eh man, I'm with you, but that is what the consusu is. Think about it, they never licensed a true port of their major games. Personally I loved BB and Mordheim, both decent and fun. A Warhammer Quest (there is mobile version of it, but it doesn't live the spirit in my opinion) VG would also be welcomed.

From their point of view, they'd be adding even more competition to a line of already quite niche luxury goods. Why would anyone cough up the 300+ shekels for a handful of plastic toys and a bunch of paint, brushes and terrain, when they could just buy this mobile game and do all the same for cheaper?
