It absolutely is though, because annoying the heck out of the annoying part of a fan base makes me and the rest of the more stable fan base feel good inside. 

Define "the annoying part of the fanbase". People that have actual expectations of quality from the biggest wargames company in the world?

Quality is hard to quantify and doesn't apply to all aspects of the Warhammer hobby.

 

-Do GW offer the most expansive (and expensive lol) wargame, with the biggest range of models, the most factions, the most variety of plastic kits, with the most frequent release schedule?
Yes, they absolutely do.

 

-Is the actual tabletop game as good as the models they sell? 

Absolutely not lol

My expectations - and indeed the expectations of many posters here - might not be the expectations of the majority of the customers though. We're in a bubble, of a bubble, perched on a fairly niche bubble.

 

Given the record profits, record event attendance and record amount of people taking part in the hobby - in all it's guises - I'd suggest that they are meeting expectations of enough of their fanbase. However, in business as in politics - you simply cannot please everyone. From a business perspective, at least for now, it's clearly working - even if some who have memories of how it used to be might be annoyed by many of the changes.
