Even as someone who does NOT buy GW-stuff, with the company being the most prominent in our hobby, I have good reason to be concerned, for example that their predatory business practices might be mimicked by their competitors, of which I might be a customer. And that’s just one of many reasons to be concerned, even as a non-costumer of GW.

On a side note: If you defend predatory practices directed against you by an entity, and if you defend an entity which exploits you (like your spending disorder, lack of judgement etc…), these are among the aspects which actually define a cult or cult-like behaviour. So, calling people who are willing to pay these insane prizes, and who rationalize them or even defend the corporate entity demanding these prizes can be called cultish or a cult. It is not an insult, but an apt description.
