cityofdreamingspanners:yourkickstartersucks:thedreadvampy:yourkickstartersucks:Fuck your faux high-grade Italian leather and your claims that you put an emblem of Japanese fortune in the corner or some shit. This is a dumb wallet for dumb gamer nerds and that’s a god damn triforce.Gametee: The World’s Finest Wallet for Videogamers(thanks to the multiple people who submitted this)…the company who make this wallet are called GAMETEE and they are a well-established company who make BESPOKE FUCKING GAMING MERCHhow the hell do you come to the conclusion that’s trying to be anything BUT a triforce? obviously it’s a triforce. nobody is pretending it’s anything but a triforce. it is a triforce. it is a nice wallet with a subtle gaming reference from a company who design nice merch with subtle gaming references. you are not clever for spotting that it is a triforce because it is a triforce. inspired by one of the most legendary video games in history. it is a triforce.…is this a joke? it literally says under the picture exactly what it is. this is not a kickstarter that is pretending to be anything but what it is. a product from a gamer art company. with a triforce. although the kickstarter is correct. the triforce has got its origins in the three-scales Hojo family crest from around the C13. it is an ancient japanese symbol, not one of fortune, which is a claim you pulled out of your arse, but one which is, as they’ve helpfully pointed out, copyright-free. b/c, not to assume shit here, but as gametee is a small independent and unaffliated company run by two people, it can’t REALLY afford to pay for the rights to major nintendo properties and the three-scales symbol is a not-legally-problematic version of the triforce! everyone wins!your commentary is lacking. bad show, yks. bad show. 0/10.how could we have possibly thought they were pretending it isn’t a triforce what could have led us to such a hasty conclusionhow dare we impugn the integrity of the copyright-abiding folks of GAMERTEEfrankly i’m as outraged as you are by this wild accusationhopefully an e-mail to piracyscene@noa.nintendo.com will clear things up. thanks for your feedback, dread vampyOn top of all the copyright infringement crap, Dread Wanker here insists that “GAMETEE” are a well established company. Why the fuck are they kickstarting this then? When did Kickstarter go from a platform for crowdfunding business ideas to being an online shop for “established retailers” who are so risk-averse they won’t make anything unless they have 200+ orders in advance? You can’t have it both ways, so stop taking the piss, grow up and run your ‘business’ in the real world.Well, wankerofwankingwankers, just because they’re a well-established company doesn’t mean that Gametee have the cold, harsh cash to pay upfront for a production run of an item without assurance that they’ll have enough customers to have sufficient volume for it to be economically viable. Gee, I sure wish there was a platform for both raising production costs and obtaining buyers.You could do with growing up yourself is what I’m saying; the world ain’t neatly divided into poor individuals and rich businesses. Gametee are hardly the first company for whom Kickstarter was simply the most sensible option. But hey, if you don’t want to support established companies on Kickstarter then just let the market do its thing.But really, if you can read a kickstarter about a wallet “for Videogamers” “inspired by one of the most legendary video games in history” and think that not saying the T-word is anything other than prudence then you need lessons in reading comprehension, or else to remove your own head for your arse. -- source link
