I'm arguing that GW's LOTR outsold WHFB.
I'm also arguing the secondary claim that the high sales of LOTR took sales momentum and community energy from WHFB.
You're arguing that:
1. WHFB outsold LOTR
2. Because of LOTR, the sales for WHFB actually INCREASED overtime
3. WHFB never declined in popularity during a period of time approximately lasting 13 years, "post-LOTR," which I'll start measuring at 2003, the release of the third movie. So, the time period would be approximately 2003-2016.
No, I don't have an exact proof or citation for it on hand, but I absolutely believe that LOTR generally outsold WHFB. I know this is something that GW employees themselves believed. Half of the fucking company magazine was dedicated solely to LOTR. If push comes to shove, yeah, I could prove it.
LOTR outsold WHFB for several years.
Maybe my secondary claim is bunk. But I do know that every product GW makes takes up SHELF SPACE. Physical space. LOTR would take up more
you know what
fuck it
You can just make up shit that engages that autistic part of my brain that demands to type up a response.

Guess what my dude?
WHFB didn't even LIVE 13 years post-LOTR. The company killed it off in 2015 because of low sales.
The people who could see the numbers, had the information before them, who knew their company was leaning closer to bankruptcy, they decided it made more sense to kill the game off and launch a new one.
