Would You Buy MSFS Merch (such as shirts, and mugs)?

[wim123 758]

not at all interested.

Only if MS pays me to wear the T-shirt as a promotional garment.

Sure, go for it! 

It could all be on fire sale after next Tuesday anyway!  😆

Most flight simmers don't want to advertise the geek side, so that's a big No

Maybe but I would rather they finish fixing the game first. T-shirt with an “Are you sure you want to uninstall MSFS?”, logo on it anyone...

I know what you mean. I’ve been stunned over the years to read on this forum how many men are totally under the thumb of their wives when it comes to flight sim purchases of any kind, even $15 scenery add-ons. I too do what I want with the money I’ve earned. 

Yeah, me too. It's actually kind of hilarious (and not only flight sim stuff). Then, for some odd reason, the wife don't seem to have to ask the other for permission to buy her 12th pair of shoes.

That being said, my significant other has permission to shoot me if I ever buy a MSFS-Tshirt.. 🤣

Hardly any of the clothes I wear have any sort of branding on the outside, I suspect I am not alone. So yes it is possible to walk around and not be a walking billboard whilst actually wearing clothes.

So you never wear sneakers from adidas or puma, etc.?

And you know this because?

Personally, I am confident enough in myself to not give a flying toss about what anyone else thinks of me, so if someone doesn't like the fact that I like flight simulators, that's their problem, not mine. And I wear what I want to, if people don't like that either, that's their problem as well. I would hope everyone else would be similarly self-esteem issue-free when it comes to expressing themselves, because if they aren't, liking toy planes will be the least of their problems.

I once knew a chap who bought a Compuserve t-shirt. He wore it once and let's just say it was a "conversation piece" for the evening. He never wore it again. These days he would have sued everyone over his "protected identity" or for a "hate crime" or for being "Compuservephobic" or similar.

In other words, NO!

Do you walk around looking at people's feet to get a look at the branding?

You seem to have missed the point.😏

LOL, some here. Just in case I kicked off this discussion about the simmer and his/her significant other and for the record: I am luckily in a position to spend whatever I like, too, even upgraded my rig recently for some 800 bucks without asking or even telling (she wouldn’t notice it anyway) and definitely don‘t need to ask for permissions to buy addons of any kind. Just saying that the wife attraction factor of MSFS is extremely low on my end. But hey, likewise for her daily insta stories and facebook „research“. I leave that to her like indeed buying the umpteenth pair of shoes

I am just glad that was a clean answer.  Could have been a lot worse! 😆
