The US declared recession beginning in 2004.

I'd like to see something on that if you don't mind.

In the meantime, lets accept that premise. How much of their sales are in the US?

Keep in mind that their dollar didn't began to drop till late last year and that WH40K is somewhat obscure.

Given that GW is a British company, would the US recession really hurt them that much? They have shops all over Europe.

GW may not take a huge hit from the US but it really doesn't help either.

No it doesn't but then again if they would publicise a little more than they could make up the shortfall. Imagine what that fanfilm would have done for them if they hadn't axed it.

Dept of the Treasure 2005

Remember that Recession doesn't mean Depression. The two are very different and many people forget this.

I believe GW has been on the downward spiral since before the current economic troubles. Certainly, the volume of fan complaints has been steadily rising since before then.

What work? What position? What case? Did I miss something and what are you talking about?

You stated that that the proof of a recession starting in 2004 was in the 2005 State of the Union and something from the Treasury Department in 2005.

I am simply asking you to post a link to your source so I can read it for myself.

Link, would be YOUTUBE.COM i'm guessing. Or PBS, either or would work.

PS, not proof that it started in 2004, just when it was admitted. We've been getting budget cuts since long before then so I have a feeling it started before then.
