How come no one has turned their s2/s3 companies into real companies?

Threat was apart of zero's distribution back in the day. But their distribution I think was Black Box and not the same guys who made s3 lol. But when black box distribution went out of business threat did to and zero went to dwindle. I wanted to make L8 media into an irl channel if that counts, like mainly for skate videos and such kinda like a media production company focused on skateboarding or something it was some weird idea similar to that. I would love to see Halcyon make boards or something.

I'm sure we all would've wore some skate 3 team based merch.
As far as I can tell no one here is that invested in it though.
Not to mention some of the graphics being copyrighted or likeness of people and what not.
In-Game Graphics were likely the closest thing to a skateboard company were going to see from this community.
Come to think of it I can't think of anyone being that invested in a game.
Other than big youtubers and dudes that compete in video game tournaments, sometimes have a few shirts.
Here we had all the cool stuff from teams and none of the extra.
No deadlines, no business models, no worries.

lol, yeah 5150 is real and someone posted pics of real Hoodlum decks a while ago (not affiliated with the Skate. team). There's a lot more to starting a company than "some people in a small gaming niche will like it". You have to think about market size, etc. It "could" work, but it's a big risk. You're essentially offering some custom decks and gear that only a small number of people would even be interested in. Im still trying to get my online barbershop going.

Psychonaut is the one I wanted to see real decks of the most, especially the Heshfield-graphics. And then Vice. Psychonaut and Vice have really specific looks and vibes.

Edit: I totally remembered now that DP has a Cafepress-store with logo-shirts.

I was going to have Deacon send me the Morphine Nation logo at one time to get it printed on a shirt.
Never ended up happening though.

That would of been so fucking dope, and pretty sure the only dudes in vegas that would love to have s3 related merch would be me, themike, and tinky.
