Trying to implement such kind of business, with such kind of cost might be nothing more than a setback for you.While I agree with you completely (I'm only really interested in a poster and t-shirt anyway) I think it is more than a bit presumptuous to tell people they shouldn't be interested in certain products.
Since you want to sell some merchandise, and being that your team's qualities are not built upon the skills required to create the merchandise you want to sell(or at least placed a poll on), maybe you should think of a creative way to advertise your products/yourselves. If you're looking for an extra income it's also quite easy to think of a few less troubling options. Managing the sale of that, or paying someone to sell it is quite an hard task.
I haven't voted nor will I for now, but I believe the only viable product of these for now is the posters. Cheap, interesting and invaluable for some.
I also do not promote or approve any form of consumerism. The success of this project of yours is based on THIS simple form of crowd control. One of the things I mostly liked about you was the abnormality of your works, including the absence or apparent absence of "what's usual". That assured that your games were pieces of art because they were unique and could have you feel deeper emotions. I hope your success does not corrupt you too.
Anyway, who am I to advise anyone...
Is it? Don't people tell people everything else? How to be, how to behave, how to look, what to buy, what to not buy?
I never nor will I tell anyone to behave as someone else.
