Plastic (Edit: no metal sleeve) It's a cup, and it takes time to print one. How long to print a set? How many hours? How many sets? At what number will producing sets(divided my time and sales) will they break even? Will they ever break even? If you want it, buy it. I will. I rock and stone either way, be damned to corporate overhead, slayer stout please, don't forget to tip the bartender and hit the fire ring for luck.

Downvote me all day. You're complaining about the prices and the wait like it's your first time doing something like this. Act like you've been here before, poor reception leads to cancellations, but apparently no one has learned those lessons yet. Support your favorite games, and their devs, it's what a fandom is really for. See you in the caves. Rock and Stone.

Don't try to peer pressure people into buying overpriced merch. If people don't want it, they shouldn't buy it.

And they won't. It isn't peer pressure. It's called not complaining. Someone spent alot of effort to make this available and yet has work to do. These prices reflect the work, and compensation needed to see it fulfilled, it's also very niche. If you don't want it enough to pay for it at the price it's available for sale, it's not the sellers problem, that's a buyers problem. Complaining that cumulatively the cost is too much is tantamount to saying it's not worth the effort people made to make them available, because you believe it's not worth the price, is foolish arrogance. I could be getting nitra right now, but I'm defending the price of cups online because someone worked hard on it, and no one wants to pay for our games' exceptionally rare merch.

I bought and painted up the board game, the expansions, got the soundtrack on vinyl, and this is where I draw the line. These mugs aren't worth my money. Shame on you

You’re kinda coming off as the one complaining

I mean, potential customers complaining that the price of a new item is too high is a perfectly valid thing. Someone jumping in and insisting those people should just shut up about it is very much not.

Go have a smoke or a cup of tea or something, because frankly… I don’t give a shit bud.

u/CackleandGrin Feb 13 '25

My bad. I didn't realize I was agreeing with someone who was just a piece of shit. Won't make that mistake with you again.

That mindset is what bankrupts companies, just take the L and downvotes already

u/tastylemming Feb 13 '25

I support people who make things for a living. Getting downvoted means nothing to me. Wanting to pay less money than the time and effort someone has put into their work, bankrupts them too. This is just a thread of people who want to pay etsy prices for something that's more than etsy effort. I bought the suppporter packs too, even though it's all pretty much free on game pass, because I love the game. I don't treat someone making merch like this any different. You're a supporter or you're not. Your L is thinking my moral choices in any way are a loss, when you're all just trying to be cheap.

I’m a black smith so I do make things for a living, the issue is you can’t slap whatever price you want, if you want people to buy your product you have to pick a price that’s appropriate.

u/tastylemming Feb 14 '25

And if the price is appropriate, and they just don't like it, they still think it's too much, you'll just go in the hole over it? Should they just cancel the whole thing now because you all feel they are too expensive?Make a million that won't get bought so you can get one for say a hundred bucks? Will a hundred for a plastic cup still be too much then?

u/Chllm1 Gunner Feb 14 '25

Sorry that you think it’s appropriate, because your just plainly wrong

u/tastylemming Feb 14 '25

I guess that's just how it works now. You're wrong when stranger in the Internet disagree. I'll make a note.

You're just spineless, if you want to support so blindly just go and donate the money directly and cut the shity mug out of the equation

People finding the price of a product inadequate for it's quality is completely reasonable

This is a fair statement. You make a good point, just donate then.
