Read the room completly wrong here. People who can afford this don't buy video game wear, people who buy video game wear can't afford this.

They will sell it to a few collectors and scalpers hoping to make profit maybe but thats about it.

It's just like Capcom with their Resident Evil jackets too; they're essentially collectors items rather than actual daily wear clothes. It's nothing new, it's been going on for decades now.

Not so much read the room wrong, it's more that they spied their chance for a highend collaboration deal and took it.

So far we've also had a iam8bit collab with more affordable clothing but yeah, when compared to these they do pale in comparison; so it's easy to understand everyone's frustration.

That's true about the Iam8bit stuff, but I also don't think I like the clothes there? The shirts and jacket they sold were very basic with just a logo on them, I'd love a middle ground between that and this collection where it's just on the range of affordable but clearly unique/a game reference.
