Seems like a crazy business decision to me 
less people are going to be exposed to the hobby for sure!
'Dad and son walk into gaming store that isn't a GW' the staff are obviously going to push games that they know will lead to repeat custom, that they know will always be available to them! This will not be 40k or fantasy which is a real shame. If they run this rule for Europe and Asia to its all over I think. Countries like Russia who don't have a GW store (at all) will turn to other games that they can sell with confidence.
It'll probably increase profit in the short term but I think it'll be the end of GW within the next 10 years or so.
Bad times
