Store Closing
After eight awesome years of artistic adventure, deviantART’s T-Shirts & Gear Shop (formerly deviantWEAR) has decided to close its doors. It has been an amazing ride. Seeing hundreds of concepts through to full production, developing the brand with the community, listening to all of the feedback, and designing to suit our deviants’ dynamic tastes has been an honor.
We have genuinely enjoyed sharing our concepts, workflow, designs, and final products with you. We would like to thank all of you for your support, heartfelt commentary, and constant tide of love and deviousness. It was certainly a labor of love outfitting deviants from around the globe. We have decided, unfortunately, to move on. It's with a heavy heart that we bring you this news, but now is your chance to take a physical piece of deviantART home. We don’t plan on restocking, so grab your bit of deviously artistic history before it’s gone!
Thank you for your many years of fandom! We look forward to the next chapter and your continued support.
Remember our store will remain open until we have sold our last piece. Our customer service team will be available at anytime, long after our doors have closed.

That is so sad, so what's the money making plan behind all this DA? because if you close down a store that advertises it's business publicly on product goods, then your business must be set for closure too.
It's not rocket science! Geez!
You've pulled the plug out of the bath now, so when are you going to throw in the towel, that's what we want to know?

Aren't point commissions now a bit useless? Yeah I know you can also buy a premium membership from it...but well before you had more variety.
Was the business working this bad? Sad but yeah money rules the worls and if it doesn't earn enough you have to close it, really sad.
Why didn't you bring up the "Hot Topic" earlier (instead of something unreleated like the Lady Gaga Hot Topic..seriously???), maybe many deviants would have saved the shop from closing down so soon, if they were aware of the fact that it closes.
And on every devmeet I participated there were people wearing your gear with proud, it can't gone that bad...
Yeah questions, will you ever give us a propper answer?

Oh no, this is terrible. There's so much stuff I wanted, but never had the money (or points) for it. This isn't a very wise business move, DA.

So exactly WHY is the store closing? Is it as cost thing or perhaps trying a new business model? What is the exact reason for closing down the store, because it's a hugely popular aspect of the site?

I am so sad to hear this. The DA store was one of the best online stores for artist gear and artist SWAG! I imagined down the line the DA store expanding and start selling reflectors, lens cleaners, easel's, paint brushes, tripods, more gear bags, etc. So many cool ideas!! I would rock it all day and at every photo shoot I do! I went to photoshop world in Orlando, FL a few weeks ago, and I would have LOVED to see a deviant art booth there at the EXPO. DA is such an AMAZING community of artists, and deserves so much more recognition!!
We love it here, and we love the gear that connects us all together in the real world. So sad to see the store go. But I am glad I have made purchases throughout the years. I'll cherish them always. Thanks for all of the DA staff for all their hard work. I really really think you should re-consider though! I'll help run it! lol just don't want to see it go!

I think the Fella Plush and the Llama Plush should still be made available regardless. They are the DA mascots after all.

I think they may find it to time consuming and that they want to spend more time enhancing current features and adding new ones. For example, in the last year I have seen an increase in the frequency of new features to the site.

Please tell me if there is any available hoodie! I've been killing myself entering contests over and over just to get enough points! and seeing this crushed my hopes, cause I really really really LOVE hoodies and I have never owned one before in my LIFE! getting one from DA would've been awesome without that heartbreaking news about closing in

WHAT??!! no please don't! I've been dying waiting for the hoodie to re-stock QAQ please you can't do this to me, I've trying so hard collecting points by participating in contest, giveaway! please don't close! I always wanted a hoodie from DA it would have been like a dream come true to get a souvenir from my most favorite website ever Why do you have to close! It's great what you're doing, but don't you think by closing you would be destroying many deviant's hopes to get their favorite gear

Sad news, but we live in harsh reality, and business is business. I'm glad I've had the opportunity to grab some nice items along the way — after the shop closure it will be a nice package of memorabilia. Good luck on your future endeavours! It was nice sailing with you.

Could you guys please answer why it is closing? I loved the DevGear and the benefits and discounts I could get as a premium DeviantArt member. To be honest, I am really angry and upset about this. Buying a premium membership really feels a whole lot more pointless now, this sucks.

the dev shop is far from the only thing that makes the membership worth while D: All the customization you can do with it on your profile! The widgets, the custom boxes, the journals, I love it. The BEST feature of the membership by far is NO ADVERTISEMENTS!

Except when you over-customize your page, it takes a long time to fully load the page. Believe me, I've ran into someone's page once and she had a fuck load of plz icon on her page, and you have no idea how much of a nightmare it was.

Except all of that customization makes your page look like a big hairy asshole with no flow, dominance, or really anything that would want me to look at it for more than 10 seconds. Some people can customize something as basic as their DA page nicely, others can't. I don't see how it does anything buy detract from anyones actual work. I've been happy enough with just designing my website and not caring about anything else. Not to mention all of DAs new "widgets" and toys are superfluous additions that were seemingly integrated to squeeze what money they could out of their teenage and younger populous that were leaving for better websites.
