Very pretty, but I would have preferred that the time, money effort that's gone into this had been put into the game and FD/player interaction.
Sparkly distractions don't keep the players engaged and don't keep players.
I doubt that FD have really done anything apart from upload a bunch of pics and choose from a standard catalogue, I suspect that all the actual hosting and work is done by an external company.
I believe these types of services are available out of the box, anyone of use could have one.
This. I recall suggesting exactly the same thing for Möbius when the merchandise first came up and the reply was that the quality wasn't good enough with Spreadshirt.com
I've used them before to sort a few t-shirts for a pub crawl etc and suggested them to a local band I follow.
Very easy to set up, easy to make a quick profit but they now have to hope the quality lasts. In reality this could have been setup by an Industrial Placement student (it's the sort of tasks they would get at my work). It would have taken no effort away from development of the game.
