How is it that GW is richer than ever, but the actual GW stores (sorry Warhammer™) and White Dwarf magazine are complete husks compared to what they used to be?

When I was a teen, the GW was the place we all met up and played. With like three full-time staff and several part-timers. All sorts of events and Veterans night and a painting roundtable. They'd cram in as many 6x4' tables for games as they could.

Now there's one member of staff and a few half-size intro boards and it just looks so forlorn and sterile.

I wonder if eventually they'll all start closing at a rate of knots, seen as unnecessary in the days of Twitch reveal stream hype and FOMO box queuing on the website. White Dwarf too seems really lost when I look at a copy now, compared to the Warhammer Community site.
