Why don't videogame companies at least send their fanboys t-shirts?

Considering the sheer number of hours that fanboys of certain games and consoles spend on forums shilling what they worship (systems or games) for free, one would think that the companies would at least send an t-shirt to these individuals. Anyone know why they don't? Is it that they feel fanboys are actually harmful to sales or irrelevant to sales? Or is it that they haven't thought of doing this. Anyone have any idea?
