Deep Rock Galactic Kickstarter: High-Quality Mugs at a Premium Price
A new Kickstarter campaign from Scorched Steel Industry has launched for "high-quality mugs" inspired by the popular game Deep Rock Galactic.
Mugs with a hefty price tag
The mugs, replicas of the dwarven mugs from the game, are priced at a hefty $55 each. Shipping adds an additional $30, bringing the total cost to around $85 for a single mug.
Price justification
Scorched Steel Industry attributes the high price to the intricate design and use of high-quality materials. They claim it's "the most complicated mug made industrially on Earth."
Kickstarter success
Despite the high price, the Kickstarter has surpassed its initial target of $200,000, currently reaching around $300,000.
Mixed reactions
DRG fans have expressed a range of reactions to the price. Some are amused, while others voice concerns about the affordability.
Design and durability
The mugs are made from a "rather expensive polymer" for optimal appearance and performance. Scorched Steel Industry emphasizes the small-batch production process, which adds to the cost.
A niche item
While some question the value for a plastic mug, others acknowledge its appeal as a collectible item. It caters to enthusiastic fans of Deep Rock Galactic who appreciate the attention to detail and the craftsmanship involved.
Conclusion
The high price of the Deep Rock Galactic mugs may not be justified for everyone. However, the unique design and materials may appeal to collectors and hardcore fans of the game. Ultimately, the value of these mugs lies in the eye of the beholder.
