Ridiculously high price for DF t -shirt

[Skywalker]

This is going nowhere

A printed shirt that is also comfortable should cost around that much. If it's too cheap, the print will deteriorate very fast and/or the shirt just won't be very comfortable.

This isn't like the 10 pack of white t-shirts you're used to buying on Amazon. The page lists the source of both the shirt manufacturer AND the printing company that work to make the shirt, so you can be more confident when you buy it

Ah, the rising cost of looking like a total loser makes you an even greater loser. A great value! That ad for the shirt, from the devs, gave me a gut busting laugh. Quote: "Tarn and Zach say, “If you think losing is fun, buy this shirt. You’ll look like a total loser… and win!”

I see shirts online for like 21 or 19 dollars

You can buy shirts for $1 at thrift stores, I wouldn't exactly recommend them if you can afford better ones though. I like the custom print shirts I got from Teepublic at $21 each, and the DF shirt looks to be higher quality than those. Additionally, it's pretty normal for merch to be a little more expensive than you'd expect because people are willing to pay more to support their favorite stuff

Last thing I'd want to see is a world where they release the shirt at $15 and it ends up being a terrible shirt and nobody likes it

The t-shirts I buy (no print on them at all, just plain ones) usually cost me around 15€ a piece, but they are comfortable and last for easily 5+ years (being worn, not staying in a pile).
If they use similar quality, with the extra costs for printing, shipping and probably a higher base price for buying in lower quantity it wouldn't be surprising to see that kind of pricing.

Well, if it's really good quality, there's something to be said for it.
If not, I feel even more of a loser ...lol ( no i am joking)

Yes, if it is really that it is a quality shirt with the print included , then I understand the price better.

How do you get that merchandise, I found the advert, but it didn't take me anywhere when I clicked on it...

If you can't afford it, I suggest you find yourself a job.

I am in Europe..

Sadly it's prohibitively expensive for shipping to Brazil... I'd have to pay 73$ just for shipping. Sadly, that plus the t-shirt would cost me +$450 in local currency.

I'm in europe as well and the european site doesn't have dwarf fortress stuff (yet?) so it's not for us.

Taking into account both oscillating and parallel costs of living in the US and Brazil, $73 USD would feel in the pocket as much as if the current $450 BRL were $450 USD for an average middle-class American. That is what I meant. The '$' symbol is universal for any currency.
