About: In this video I talk about the recent news that AMG (Atomic Mass Games) will end development on Star Wars X-Wing and Star Wars Armada. What will happen to these games? How can the community affect the future of these games?

None of those should've ever left fantasyflightgames to begin with, they had something good going 'n everything project they shifted over is either dead or currently about to die, that includes star wars legion as well. The lack of content and commitment is horrible 'n instead of producing some interesting things they now plan to run new reprints of units nearly all established players won't need any more copies of. This was one huge "how to kill popular brands with one decision" idiot move they pulled back then.

Adepticon's announcement that they plan on hosting X-wing and Armada tournaments is probably the most important thing to come out since AMG's announcement. Whomever they let run those events in 2026 will stand to have a lot of leadership and clout in the respective communities.

Scalpers are the worst, suddenly people with 20 NiB ships show up and sell stuff at 3-4 times the MSRP and FOMO folks jump on them.

The debt that asmodee was handed is crushing, and has changed their operations quite a bit: They were already a penny pinching company after embracer came in, but the split has made it far worse.

They know they are basically dead when the loan comes due, and that the best that can happen to a smaller businesses unit is to be sold to a competitor: But those competitors aren't rich, and they know the price will lower as they wait.

I would not be surprised if xwing and armada returned from the dead in the next year or two after being sold to a healthier organization

I got into X-Wing at the end of 1.0, and happily upgraded to 2.0. (It only took 2 upgrade packs to cover 90% of my collection, so it was not a big deal for me.) I've loved this game, and I'm sorry to see it die. Hopefully the fans can save the game.

Warm regards, Rick.

Love the use of a slider for shots. Hope it doesn't take too long to do.

Great video and sums it all up really. Don't know if we'll ever really know what happened, but I image there is an element of some truth in all the speculations. X-Wing v1 will always hold a special place in my heart.

Dude, I barely leave any comments, but I love your kind of podcast type of content. I also understand how much effort u put into it . Thank you very much .

[rickvandenberg]

Goodlooking guy that Rick 😂

Thanks for the awesome video and the chance to talk about my favourite miniature wargame.

[JMACCSArmiesOfMiddleEarth]

Awsome vid man loved it. I was just about to get into Armada but not so sure anymore

[SleepyGhst]

Hell yeah, solid video about a mini game I never got into.. dont really like starwars but this was super cool to understand

[dmchodge]

Probably dead, but definitely on life support.

[KaptajnCongoboy]

You want to "fight the power"....by covering the games and encouraging people buying the games of....the power.

Interesting take :D

[lloydpowell]

I want to find out what ‘structure’ was ‘supposed’ to be…find out and you might be on a ‘trail’ of possible ‘reasons’…ie;structure is atm hidden away like the secret mulan shezwan sauce & the ark of the covenant from ‘Raiders’… it might just be a trail, but answer that question and you’ll find out a whole lot more…peace.

so glad i bought my SSD before they dropped support

Just stumbled upon your video, I really like your attitude towards capitalism so I guess I'll watch on a regular basis now 😂 just found a rebel Squadron Pack for 140€ bucks on eBay today, I mean it's the only thing I'm missing in my Armada collection (don't ask why I didn't get it earlier, life happened 😅) and now I might never be able to complete it. I hope the community will 3D print the fuck out of this game 🎉 sorry for my micro rant, take care ✌️😄

if it wasn't for capitalism, sweetheart, you wouldn't have this platform. so, know your place and respect the hands that feed you.
