Games Workshop hits equal market value to British Gas

That's pretty much it. Just a random tweet from a markets guy. I know nothing about stocks and shares so can't really comment.

(Text for those who can't see the tweet: Games Workshop, owner of Warhammer, is now worth the same as Centrica, owner of British Gas.)

Apparently there are various reasons why this shouldn't be taken as a serious like-for-like comparison, but as GW manufactures its own stuff they're coping much better than many companies with the current crisis.

Nice to see a British company (and one that actually manufactures things in this country) doing well. 

They've been a hugely influential force in gaming for decades now and good luck to 'em!

It’d be nice if they paid their staff a decent wage. Maybe they do now, but it was pitiful when I worked for them 20 years ago.
