The idea is, instead of directly featuring the game or film’s name you use something more subtle like a logo from an in-world corporation, or bar, or something like that.
The fun thing is, for someone who doesn’t know the game, it’s just a logo. But when you pass someone who is into the game they will go nuts (I have been approached several times about my A.G. Systems t-shirt!)
The Insert Coin stuff, especially, is really good quality.
I would LOVE to be able to buy an Ether Biotech or Sanguine t-shirt! Anyone else?
Also, these are officially licensed so some of the money would get back to IOI.
Yeah, I 100% agree. I’ve often contemplate just printing my own t shirt with one of the in-game logos on it. Currently eye-ing up the Ragnarok Disciples logo from H3, reckon that’d make a nice rock and looking shirt
Won’t lie, I thought you started this thread since you were just talking about this…lol. Still agree with you that “The Class” shirt would work the best for this type of thing
All I could think about during my first time running around the pit/VIP area of Miami was how much I’d kill for merch Aeon/Thwack/every other brand in the game. The idea of seeing some of the in-game companies on IRL merch reminds me of what they for Deus Ex Human Revolution: They had really cool Belltower/Sarif shirts that always struck me as being better because of the subtlety. It’s not just a matter of slapping the game’s logo on a shirt and calling it a day.
