In response to your question about merchandising… What do you hope to achieve from it? The cost per item is probably too high, and that is because you cannot buy them in sufficient numbers. I did consider buying one (despite your thoughts that us oldies might not wear T shirts that often…. :-) I could wear one at night when its cold, but that may be a bit too much for Mrs W - who already craves your bedtime stories as some sort of sleeping draught!). People generally buy merchandising because they want to be identified with the product, probably obvious. But, for it to be effective people who see you wearing it generally need to know who the product / subject / artist is. You are probably still a bit “niche” for global recognition! The people who are likely to see me wearing a T-shirt or similar would have difficulty understanding the concept of a computer game - let alone why someone would watch someone else playing a game. Also the lack of sales may be attributable to the location of the link to the shirt site. I suspect a large percentage of video viewers do not open up the top section of each video to look at the extra information. Is it possible to have that open by default? Now ask yourself this question, would you buy an Andertons Music shop or a Captain Anderton T shirt, the answer would probably be yes, because their channel has 18000 + subscribers and their videos get viewings into the 10’s of millions. I don’t think the idea of merchandising is wrong or bad - I just think you need to make yourself more all known, thats all.

Geoff already covered well about the merchandise, nothing wrong with them. Personally I am person who likes to get clothes from shop. Although the hoodies are tempting in your shop... Anyways maybe it'll take more wind under the wings once there are more people in the channel.

Question? ... Well not really. All 3 of my sons play a lot of games on PC and console. The majority being multi player games such as COD and Fifa, now if someone could come up with a multiplayer train sim or survival game then that might make a good subject for a live stream...
