Games Workshop is more entrenched in their niche than any of the FAANGs. They can do what they want, because nobody else can do WH40K.

I can guarantee you that there are more than a few small producers in Guangzhou that can, and are using whatever advantage they can leverage (including AI, like the rest of China's industry).

It's a license and IP issue. Nothing technical otherwise 3d printers should have put GW out of business overnight.

It's like saying because even the newest Pokemon game has shitty textures which anyone can do better than with AI, you can compete against Pokemon.

People don't buy merchs of these well-established IP for their astonishing production value. And especially not for how cheap they are.
