Possibly the time they tried to get a book pulled from bookstores because it had "space marine" in the title. [1] Or the time they clamped down on fan animations in Warhammer settings. [2] Or their lawsuit against Chapterhouse. [3] [1] https://gizmodo.com/games-workshop-is-still-claiming-to-own-the-trademark-t-5982201 https://gizmodo.com/games-workshop-is-still-claiming-to-own-...

Ah, I knew the fan animations thing would pop up. There was a lot of drama but no creator was ever asked to stop producing fan-content. What did happen was some creators got bullied by the fanbase though. [1] Some of those creators got full-time jobs and others were asked to stop monetising the content. I'm not sure why either of those are problems. No one has to stop doing what they're doing and some folks get to work officially for an IP they're passionate about. As far as the Space Marine book thing, sure, that was dumb but hardly a big deal and the Chapterhouse lawsuit was a decade ago. GW has changed significantly and noticeably since.
