Forums - Gaming Discussion - 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?

You say it yourself, they do it for free anyway, why waste good money?

And that answer should make one ponder the priorities of fanboys in life.

I would also say the comment about fanboys BUYING t-shirts is FTW.  Yes, fanboys are a rare breed who actually PAY for the priviledge of doing things normally companies pay money to get done.
