Title: Carrying case = Swag/accessory
Post by: mrfoxhound on April 14, 2016, 06:10:28 pm
Is there any reason why carrying cases for handhelds are under something called Swag instead of accessories like all places list them as? It technically is an accessory. It's a bit of a gripe to click on my Gameboy Advance collection and only see a drop down menu for games and hardware, no accessories (cases) and have to scroll to the bottom of my menu collection to see it as swag. Looks out of place. While we're discussing the "Swag" tag, is that an insider or can we just change that to misc or something? Would look more...professional?

Yes I second this statement... please move carrying cases & bags back to their respectful system as an accessory.

Not a bad idea. I think some have requested this before. The category has just always been that way. haha. You'll have to ask Matt about reasoning on that one.

It would make more sense if they were thrown in with accessories because carrying cases are more utilitarian, where the other swag stuff is more or less merchandising type stuff.
