Has 3rd party decal makers taken a hit?

[Helias_Tancred]

Hey all.

 

I visit Etsy regularly just browsing the 3rd party stuff for various space marine chapters. Lately I've been looking for decals for various second or further founding chapters of the Dark Angels. I noticed much of it is gone from Etsy. I know Etsy supposedly was cracking down on IP violations, and I also know that GW has recently released their IP legal department to crusade around for a bit threatening to sue or a swift $10-20k payoff? ... it seems both of those combined have really done work on removing many of the decal makers from Etsy. Granted I have not used eBay to look for any yet? I did look at Fallout and Forgotten Chapters and they're still grinding along with some but not always the ones I'm browsing for ....

 

You guys noticing this too?

 

In the past it was great that there were at least a wide array of various decal sheets for sale so you could do a wider variety of marine chapters. Now it seems not so much.
