Perhaps providing some evidence to support your claims instead of a patronising suggestion to "do some research" would help you not look quite so bad.My recollection of events:WF opens with much hoo-hah about being "for wargamers" and promises of affordability (and the odd sideswipe at more expensive competitors).WF releases some very poor (but cheap) soldiers.WF encounters financial and supply difficulties.WFs investors and creditors decide that the bloke who got them in to this mess isn't best paced to get them out of it and, to try and protect their investment, take over.WF founder rages across the internet about the unfairness of it all.WF find themselves unable to generate sufficient money to continue trading and so sell up to Warlord.Anything I've missed?

One with an "aggressive" and much attacked pricing structure, the other "affordable" and "for wargamers".One is now the largest and most successful historical Wargames manufacturer in the world. The other mainly a punchline.
You're talking about Defiance Games there, not Wargames Factory. So before you accuse others of looking bad maybe you should get the facts straight yourself.
Actually, you missed quite a bit.<Snip>
*Checks facts* The original company that made the skeletons being discussed and acted in the ways described above was called Wargames Factory.IIRC Defiance games was the company set up by the founder of WF after he was bought out.So, about this checking facts thing, how's that going for you?
No, it was Defiance who acted the way you described, so it's going fine for me. Now, I'll follow Elk101's advice.
