An Open Letter to GamerSupps
To who it may concern, the most important among those would include Jonathan “JSchlatt” Schlatt and Jaren "SMii7Y" Smith: I like GamerSupps. I like the flavors and the shitposting nature of the company, per its Twitter tag. I enjoy the concept of getting Splooshed by the special juices of CottonTailVA. I think the design of PayMoneyWubby's Creator Cup is so nastily on point with the titular “Brand Risk” flavor and that is so goddamn baller. I want Shylily to Blast my BloHole. Shylily's BloHole is a real Blast of flavor. (((((Lean))))). But beyond the flavors, I love that the company has a creative team composed of so many talented and hardworking artists and staff to design the products. Yoclesh, Merunyaa, Luxeini, Saurei, Foxyreine, Nanoless, Yenko, Dyarikku, and so many others artists, as well as the impossibly vital behind-the-scenes workers, put out their creative juices into every GamerSupps item they contribute to, from the ever-present Waifu and Creator Cups to the lunchboxes and pins. Yet with all of these connections and resources on hand for creative expression, the potential for how it could be best utilized has been greatly missed. This missed potential has turned into toxic stagnation. This takes the form of constant limited edition releases of shakers and promo items back to back to back, and more and more people crying out that there’s no keeping up financially with it anymore. It was a fun meme to see someone buy like 200 shakers but this joke is now its own butt. Posts continue to pop up of people desperate to sell off their cups because of financial burden or just not enough space. Hundreds of shakers just collectively sitting around across these posts; one post showed them so cramped on the shelf that you couldn’t even see half of them. Collecting for display is very well and good, but when it looks akin to hoarding, something has gone wrong. We won't ever and can’t ever have every shaker ever; only the few with actual disposable income and–just as important–the space, have the stability for that, not those manipulatively strung along by FOMO. This isn’t to mention scalpers getting even the free promo items in bulk and ridiculously upselling them, capitalizing further on that FOMO. I bought a Browser Trouble shaker on resale for $60+ and I feel awful for that. I’ve seen Christmas in Summer shakers already go up for more than $65, before shipping. The scalping is so awful that it’s likely why the Limited Awakened Worlds vCards are on delay; bulk-buying scalpers demanded so much that now every product is backed up on shipping, the 16-week deadline from September 9 is up as I write this letter, and now those who actually want to unwrap 10-cards are going to have to pay out their asses if they missed the boat. This problem should have been addressed and avoided after having dealt with it with the Rising Stars release; there’s no excuse it shouldn’t have been. The question now becomes: should vCards have ever been a thing? There’s no effort to minimize toxic reselling, and as a result the only parties benefitting are GamerSupps and the scalpers exploiting FOMO on soon-to-be-broke fans. Scalping has no place in any TCG but GamerSupps seems to enable it by allowing full-on 12-pack purchases multiple times: we might see tweets of streamers with towers of cards praying for a gold-pack, but what about the countless scalpers in the shadows marking “LAST ONE” on the $160 resale on eBay, who have 23 on standby? This is not a culture to encourage. Too many releases we didn’t ask for, too many scalpers encouraged to scalp, and too much exploitation of FOMO. FOMO is a powerful force but we’re tired of it. It’s not damn near predatory: it fucking is. It must stop. We are not just blind consumers of whatever products get pumped out: we are a community of people that appreciate more than just the flavors and the Waifus. We appreciate creativity: we appreciate Creators. There are Cups named after them, after all. This is the key to real change of what this company can do for its fans, and creators. “10% off at checkout using my code!” If a community supports a creator in this way enough, they can get a cup created, and usually a shirt and deskmat. Also stickers sometimes. I’m betting 9 times out of ten that all of those products get stowed away and never appreciated again. All the creator got out of it was a bit more money, and the fans lost a drawer’s worth of space. Was anything worth writing home about truly created? No: nothing but dusty momentos. Like I said at the beginning, GamerSupps works with a talented, creative team at the ready, that can only ever get bigger and better. The potential this offers has been egregiously missed. How to regain that potential? Help the creators make something they actually want to make! Show that GamerSupps is the helping hand creators can rely on to go further! Does the creator do react or IRL content? Sponsor them for a convention event, beyond the GamerSupps booth! (And sell or give away exclusive items at it!) Is the creator an artist? Have exclusive prints or wall scrolls be made! (There is an audience for physical productions, Artist Alleys exist for this reason!) Are they a singer? Help compose an all-new track (or sponsor a venue for a show)! The ways that creators can be rewarded for a passionate community that wants them to succeed is only limited by imagination! “GamerSupps” was named at a time when being called a “true gamer” was peak meme, but the “Supps” part is what should always be ringing true: supporting both fans and creators in accomplishing everything that the creator yearns for and more. Gamersupps will make more bank, and much more importantly, goodwill, in proving that there’s a heart in the center of it all. Shift a focus into prints and wallscrolls! We will buy them! vCards are not it! I really wanna push for this one. I love art, and I know so many love it as much as I do, but so many online artists never push out physical prints. The resources are there to make this happen for well-known and upcoming artists and sell them online, similar to Mosobox, but all we have right now are $20 prints to get signed at booth M&G’s (gatekept by the cost to even attend the convention, and only for creators physically there) and 10-cards that too many will only be able to get from some scalper. Fuck scalpers. In the vein of upcoming artists, perhaps a system could be made on the website for communities to crowd-request that a creator becomes a GamerSupps partner? Currently you need to apply yourself, but I think creators would find it as a welcome and heartwarming surprise from their fans that they believe they are deserving of a partnership. Make an effort to identify and refuse service to scalpers, and recognize and reward fans for loyalty! Some years ago, a set of Waifu playing cards and a coin were sent out to buyers in the Waifu Club, who were especially active buyers in that year. How many of these do you think were sent out to scalpers? I saw a box of those cards on Mercari for $90; there’s a viciously sad irony there. But this means that GamerSupps has a system in place to identify how frequent a buyer is for their products, and from where: if GamerSupps digs deeper, they could definitely start flagging names and addresses to no longer service, perhaps PO boxes that are used as a farce, and start weeding out the ones ruining the fun. It will show that GamerSupps cares about its special items reaching the people that will actually appreciate them. In the same swoop, they can improve on and utilize that system to find and praise the real GamerSupps supporters, posting their names to social media and offering special rewards like a gift from their most supported creator. More goodwill! A system could also be created to restrict special edition items to actual supporters, e.g. linked to Twitch subscriptions or Discord memberships, and time subscribed. It’s an easy way to stop scalpers from stealing away fan-desired items and reselling exorbitantly. This might be a hangup for people who see items and want them without being a fan, but that’s an easy address: restrict the sales to only the fans for a time, say a month, then, if it doesn’t sell out, open the sales up to the general public, still using the systems mentioned above to flag scalpers. The real fans should get first pick, no question. As a passing thought: make plans to improve sales and operations beyond North America, mainly Europe. From a pure business standpoint, this is potential profit missed. There are definitely logistics the public doesn’t have eyes on that could make or break if this is possible, but there’s enough unaddressed demand in EU to warrant an attempt. ————— This was a sit-down of several hours that I didn’t expect to go on for as long as it did, but I stand by everything here with great vehemence. I appreciate it if you have read all the way through, and hope you can agree with my sentiments, can add on to what else could be better, or even attempt correcting me if I’m wrong somewhere. GamerSupps has so much potential it isn’t using to its fullest, and I hope the messages I’m sending here find the right people that can do something with them. One more thing: have a happy New Year! submitted by /u/GuidanceIsOptional to r/gamersupps [link] [comments]

Why Being a GamerSupps Fan in Europe Feels Like an Afterthought
I've been a GamerSupps fan for a while, but being a customer in Europe right now feels really disappointing. While the US gets an exciting big Christmas event with lots of new options, the European shop only has two flavors available — all the others are out of stock. I thought about ordering directly from the US site, but the pricing difference makes it unfair: A tub costs $40 USD in America → that's roughly €34.13 at current exchange rates. Ordering the same tub to Europe jumps to €41.95 (about $49.17 USD) — almost 20% more. On top of that, international shipping is extremely expensive (€110) unless you use a shipping code, and you can't stack discount codes with the required delivery codes, what means you also dont get the discount of creator codes and you can´t support the creator you like. As an example the christmas "event" would be $245,82 for someone in europe... I've already placed orders through the EU shop in the past, but right now almost everything is sold out, with no information about when restocks are coming. It honestly feels like European customers are an afterthought. If GamerSupps wants to grow in the European market (and they've shown interest by opening an EU shop), it shouldn't be this hard. Fairer pricing, better stock management, and some communication about restocks would go a long way. Especially the communication is an important and easy part. I love the product and want to keep supporting the brand — I just wish European fans were treated more equally. submitted by /u/No-Candidate7364 to r/gamersupps [link] [comments]

I created a list of every available GGSupps flavor, what it tastes like, and what dyes it contains.
My friend and I are extremely allergic to red dye, and we were really frustrated with having to look through the ingredients list of every single tub we were interested in... So I made an alphabetized list of every currently available Gamersupps flavor, its flavor profile, and the (Lake) dye that it contains. Some tubs dont have their flavors listed, so they may be my best guess for their flavor profiles. Dyes are always accurate and the list checked multiple times for accuracy and safety. Please make sure to let me know if you notice something is wrong. I will be updating this list as often as possible. Enjoy & drink safely!

Hololive Fans Ordering From GamerSupps For The First Time, Please Read This.
Everyone is super excited that some of Hololive girls are getting their first ever creator cups. If you want them to get their own creator flavors, buy the cups and merch. This will show GamerSupps that Hololive fans have interest in their products. After the pre-order window is closed and you want to still give support, use their creator discount code. During the release, the code will give you free shipping. After that period is over, you will get a 10 percent off of the entire order. As for the big elephant in the room, there are some flavors of gamersupps powders that will stain your cup. The following flavors in question are Brand Risk(commonly found as part of the sample pack included with every cup purchase), Anime Girl Thighs, Bloody Orange, Lean, Grandpa's Ashes, Sigma Brain, JFJ Brand Snake Oil, and Sodapressed Despear. Gamersupps powders come as caffeinated and non-caffeinated. The taste are about the same for both but to avoid confusion, the shapes of the tubs are different. Please read the instructions on the packaging before consuming the caffeinated version. You don't want to overdose on caffeine because you thought to yourself "the scoop is small, I need more" . Enjoy yourself responsibly and have a wonderful day! submitted by /u/otakudan88 to r/Hololive [link] [comments]
