I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

    Yes and they’re yet another collectible product that exploits the psychology of a subset of people who compulsively collect things. I put them in the same category as gambling and note that there’s a lot of crossover with these things (loot boxes and CCG booster packs being prime examples of a gambling and collectible combo).

      Yeah, I hate those assholes too. I feel bad for anyone who falls for their business model.

        Yes, Inquisitor. This one right here. They have been proclaiming something about the Star Children.

        At least you can play a game with 'Nid models. Also have you guys gotten any updated models yet? I know you guys were in the same boat as the Skaven for quite awhile.

            Fucken A dude, I know the Gaunts were getting crusty. Now if only Games Workshop would update some of the non-Cadian Guard models, I want some non-forgeworld Armageddon Steel Legion models.

        At least you can actually do something with those ‘Nids.
