Jacob, yall use to do EVGA Tshirts, baseball caps and hoodies, what happen?

TShirts are still made and sold: http://www.evga.com/Products/ProductList.aspx?type=9
Baseball caps, I don't recall those, but I was out of the game for a while.
Hoodies, there were some way back when, that were very high quality, but they were very expensive as I remember.

 Discounts for eVGA Tshirts, baseball caps, hoodies and beanies , once a year free cross shipping on RMSa's, and a few perks on the forums(like image hosting), say like $50 a year for this eVGA Memembership Fan Club......
 
Some of you guys want something nothing, grow up little dudes.....

I like MSim idea with some revisions

Nice detail you have there. But I dislike your idea of where the most expensive membership you get lifetime warranty. Put that in the $30 range and I be good. Its the main thing I want. Everything else I dont care about like early access to stuff. My logical consumer thinking says wait and be patient on whatever you want to buy to let everyone else beta test the issues to see if its a good product or not to buy. Also throw T-shirt or a trucker hat in the $30 range. I mean why not, thats free advertisement for EVGA on my body.

The cost should only cover the costs for the program. There is no profit to be made here directly. The indirect benefits to EVGA are what matters. Putting out pricing like $30/40/50 is not going to make a successful program. It's pay to win mindset and people get turned off on that kind of stuff. Maybe a $5/month subscription would be ok though. Twitch TV does that sort of thing all day every day for streamer channels. Also look to Twitch Prime for program ideas.

is this for USA only or is for us in Europe also?
