I probably dislike apple more than GW, which is saying something.
Now I really like Apple, but I think it historical. I really felt for them in the 90s when they were doing something different and high quality against the unassailable evil empire that was Microsoft and the hordes of beige boxes. I tend to like the little guy, their comeback has been so big however that they have become the 'establishment', I never saw that coming! I never expected the mentality I had, to support the little guy and be cool by buying what no one else has to make people but windows phones, but it has! I find it very hard to drop a company once I have pinned my colours to its mast though, Apple will have to do something pretty terrible for me to stop supporting them, and since I spend most of my life with an iPad or iPhone in my hand that doesn't seem to be happening any time soon.
Same goes for Games Workshop. I really liked the company, Jake Thorenton, Alessio Cavatore, Rick Priestley, Mike McVey, Guy Haley, Paul Sawyer, Robin Dews were like celebrities to be in my teens and twenties. I got quite cross with some upstart called mantic when they looked like they were stealing from my favourite company (even though I was starting to get worried about where the hedge fund owned GW was heading). Now I've realised half the names I remember form the 90s and early 2000s seem to have worked with mantic and GW have put up their prices again, even my fanboy level support is being stretched. Now I think I WANT to like GW more than I actually like them.
