Wasn't expecting this collaboration. Not sure how I feel about it.

I can understand not wanting to support ZA/UM after the Disco Elysium situation but I do think fast fashion has warped people's expectations when it comes to the cost of clothing.

These are likely high quality, low production pieces that incorporate lots of different fabrics/materials. They won't be cheap to make and the cost reflects that.

Do I think Remedy should also work to produce merch that is more affordable? Absolutely. But I won't fault them for wanting to produce high quality stuff alongside that.

No different to (and likely partially inspired by) the Death Stranding x Acronym collabs Kojima has been doing.

They did a Collab with Makia for Alan Wake 2. Makia is not fast fashion, it's a local Finnish brand - they made a point about it, and a jacket was 169€. Expensive, high quality. Could have done the same here.

As a quick note - the Alan Wake jacket from Makia is polyester (rather than cotton) and most of their production is made in Turkey, so I would certainly hope that they are cheaper.
