It has been a long time since I’ve made a post on this blog, but honestly not a lot has changed at My Brute since my previous posts. All of the in-game action is all the same and all the hints and tips I’ve posted still stand strong. However, My Brute has finally come up with a way to try to make some money off of their loyal players – My Brute Merchandise.

Why sell My Brute merchandise?
Before I go really in-depth on the new My Brute merchandise I thought I would explain why they are now selling it and my opinion on it. As I mentioned in my post about My Brute failing, they have a lot of downtime and I think the main reason for the downtime is that they cannot afford to keep their servers up. They refuse to put any advertisements up besides the ones for their own games and from what I can see do not really understand how to monetize a website. So, they’ve decided to try to sell merchandise (mugs and t-shirts) in order to make money to keep My Brute afloat. In my opinion this is a terrible way to try to make money (most of the people who play My Brute are young and I highly doubt they generate very many sales) and they should stick to traditional forms of advertising (banners). However, here is some information on their new merchandise in case you are interested in buying some for your brute.

If you have logged into your cellule on My Brute anytime in the past month or so you probably noticed the new shop button pictured on the right. Click that button to be taken to the following pages to create and order a mug or t-shirt for your My Brute. You don’t have to actually pay for the shirt or mug to build it and see what it would look like. You can simply follow these directions to take a look at it.

Armor or no?

If your My Brute has armor then the first step is to choose whether you would like him/her to have armor on the image that will go on the mug or shirt.

Mug or t-shirt?

Next you can choose whether you would like to order a mug (16 euros) or a shirt (from 18 euros).

A shirt

My Brute doesn’t actually do the shirts and mugs themselves. They have partnered with comboutique.com to do all the work for them (if you look in your address bar you’ll notice you’re no longer on MyBrute.com at this point). I have not ordered a mug or shirt so I do not really know the quality of the product, but if anyone wants to post after they’ve purchased in the comments and let us know that would be great!
