Hey guys, just having a slight idea here. Rare has the opportunity to make a lot of money to support the funding of his game, if they just exploited other methods of income, like making waves of figures of the characters of the game, making banners of the factions like the game of thrones ones, or maybe making official versions of all of those Etsy products like skulls, keys, keychains, pins, etc.
This could have a lot of potential, and would make a great addition to all the sea of thieves fans who like to have a bit of the game in real life.
