Want Amnesia Merchandise?

[Bridge]

Sad to say, I would never buy any merchandize, mainly because I simply don't buy merchandize ever, but also because I can't come up with anything cool to show. The strength of your games comes from game mechanics and the story, and while the monsters are cool, PewDiePie has already ridiculed "Mr. Flappy-face" to the point where a T-shirt of him would just come across as silly and make people try to brofist me. You have great environments, but environments alone can't convey that it's Amnesia specific. You could probably make money off of PewDiePie specific merch, such as a grunt and a " 'sup? " under, but PDP has probably already sold such t-shirts already, and I think that those kinds of t-shirts would ruin your reputation in the long run.

What happened to a plain old logo t-shirt? Amnesia: The Dark Descent is all it needs to say. Better yet a picture of the online cover art (with the rose). There's nothing ridiculous about that, and it really conveys the mood of the game perfectly. I would never buy a t-shirt with a picture of a grunt on it as it's incredibly stupid (the monsters are only really scary because they represent darkness and fear [which is why the retail cover sucks so much; no mystery at all, plus it's badly drawn]).

I would buy a shirt with the Amnesia cover with the rose on it.

Also, if you plan to sell these, would you sell them internationally?

Of course; they live in Sweden/Finland after all, and probably half of their fanbase is from the US or UK. No point in selling merchandise if only a minor part of your fanbase will be able to buy it. I'm mostly interested in whether the international shipping (or at least within Europe) will be free.

i'm not saying that people wouldn't purchase anything penumbra-related (i know many people that would, including myself), it's just fairly obvious that the demand wouldn't be as high as it would be for, say, amnesia merchandise when juxtaposed against amnesia's popularity and fanbase. i don't expect them to overlook penumbra either, but it may effect the variety of the items offered, and i'd really hate to see that happen.

Oh, I could have told you Amnesia sales are higher now on average than Penumbra; that's pretty obvious. Amnesia had much more press coverage and a lot more mainstream gamers bought Amnesia than Penumbra. However Penumbra, as I said, put them on the map and in a decade it will certainly be regarded as a classic. It will never be forgotten even though Amnesia may be more popular at the moment. Who said anything about it being motivated by money anyway, all I read was "what merchandise would you like to see in the Frictional store?"

Obviously they want their profit margins to match or exceed their expenses, but these guys are not about selling out.
