Target Dump Indie Gaming Shirts

Hope you rushed in and bought some of those indie gaming shirts while you could, because no sooner do we start heaping praise upon Target for selling them than we hear they've pulled the shirts. Because they weren't selling. One of the developers whose game was featured has told Boing-Boing Gadgets:
[EGP T-shirts] sold slightly less then what Target views as good enough to keep in store. But [the distributors] are going to try the line out at places like Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters in the coming months. We will see how it goes.
Hot Topic? Surely things haven't gotten that dire, have they?

Indie Gaming's New Best Friend Is...Target

Totally unexpected news, this, but welcome news nonetheless! Seems Target stores in the US are stocking shirts featuring characters and designs from small-time, independent games. And not rubbish ones, either, awesome ones like Tower of Goo. That's not even the best part: if you buy the shirt, you get a snazzy physical copy of the game as well. All for just $12. If you're looking for somebody to congratulate for such a brilliant idea, look no further than EGP Apparel, an offshoot of the Experimental Gameplay Project.
