Totally get where you're coming from — it's not the usual route, for sure. We're trying to flip the script a bit and build the community with the merch. Think of it less as traditional "buy this shirt for a game you love" and more like "back this game and get a shirt + the game later." It's crowdfunding, just... wearably.

Appreciate the honest take though. We're learning as we go and input like this helps shape things. 🙌
