Wow Gotta read myself before I realized. You must forgive me but I goggled it, it simply caught pants down:

I have considered Games Workshop a fine traditional and video games distibutor, having played 'Space Hulk' myself. But never could I imagine them hijacking terms that are, and have been longer than GW itself, everyday for people with imagination like us. I won't run and shout with fork and torch but certainly this sounds almost as goofy as those patent-to-money companies with no tech of themselves.  Bad promotion since usually it tells that now the profit must be achieved one way or another before going down. Or it's just megalomania.
If this continues, I would see next future headline :
NAVY BUDGET FORCES TO NAME NEW ORBIT WARRIORS AS 'STARHEADS'

I bought my wife the parody '50 Sheds of Grey' for Xmas: in that front there seems not be any movement. How many '50 shades of' something out there and no infringement accusations, or are there?
'Blanket Policy' my ***!
