The most frustrating paradox in the gaming biz, IMO. The best gaming merch should be beautiful on its own and, upon first glance, not immediately recognizable as from a game. Meanwhile the *best selling* gaming merch are character+logo t-shirts that scream "I AM A BIG NERD"

There are two indie devs on Twitter: 1. Guy who shares a revised low-poly toaster oven model every six months for his game Toaster Quest. You’ve been following him for five years. 2. Guy who reveals a new project every three weeks of wildly different gameplay and art styles.

Another GameStop explanation: Let's say you bought the Bethesda game BRINK on launch day for $60. After playing it, you found it was very bad so you went back to GS to return it, but they wouldn't let you because it was open. Now imagine how I felt when this happened to me
