Games Workshop closed Warhammer.com to block scalpers

Games Workshop shut down its website, Warhammer.com, due to scalpers attempting to exploit pre-orders for the special edition of "Siege of Terra: End of Ruin." The company, known for the "Warhammer" franchise, launched pre-orders for the limited edition book, a collection of stories set in the Horus Heresy. Scalpers used bots to bypass security, prompting the website's shutdown to prevent them from acquiring the product. The special edition, featuring premium design elements, is now unavailable on the site, with Games Workshop vowing to ensure genuine fans can purchase it. The company has faced similar issues with scalpers in the past.
