Alexander. Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Never have I purchased any game merch and probably won't consider it in the future. Are you a video gaming addict that you've gone as far buying real life merchandise to beautify your gaming collection and wardrobe? Gaming companys use this as a way to increase their sales and gross profit which is effective but this means the rich are just getting richer of people like me and you.

UleTheVee Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I don't see it that way, but whatever. I only have a Shulk and Roy amiibo.. So that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Most gaming merchandise just doesn't appeal to me. I mean I have had a Mario hat at one point or a Squall Lionheart action figure when I was a kid, but not really into the merch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iaminsensible Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) I mean, sure it is a marketing "trick" but not necessarily negative. Now, I am probably one of those crazy addicted people who does go as far as purchasing merchandise. I have a couple of T-Shirts from Fallout to The Witcher, Portal, Tomb Raider etc. I also have an expanding collection of Pop! Figures. I also have a Discord pillow and a couple of other things such as cups, backpacks etc. Though I have never purchased a poster, they take too much space and, for me, they don't deserve their money.

I tried purchasing a gray fox action figure off eBay last year because I wanted to replace the one I had lost and I saw it for $200 LOL! I was like Gray Fox may be one of my favorite video game characters but I don't love him that much 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I usually only purchase mech if I have any form of connection with that game. I passed on a lot of overwatch t shirts and mugs. I remember few twitch streamers thrown the merch give away in one local show. I didn't get anything because I didn't find most of them trendy. I do however may buy something that has say show or the seminar or streaming event souvenir. So that is where I may spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont86 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Everything deems like marketing to me these days and when I look back Its the same as it's always been. I just have less patience now days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
