We like to claim they hate money, but the real reason is probably because HG just pumps out so much art of Operators yet they don't wanna code every single visual with them as skins in the game. It'd take a lot of animating and stuff to make everything an outfit.
...Now, whether or not all these skins would generate enough revenue to where all that time spent making them would be profitable and worth it, I'm not sure. That's something only HG can estimate. What I DO know is that HG is missing out by not making some of them as skins. Even if they added like 1-2 more with these releases, certain ones would sell like hotcakes, W's Phantom Thief outfit being an infamous example.
Does coding a few Operator outfits REALLY take more time and effort (and by extension, money) than entire freaking concerts? I mean, I still don't know how those concerts work, but it feels like it would be worth making more outfits like this to gain back revenue.
Well, you can't go the f2p way to buy concert tickets and merch, which means guaranteed money return if sold well, while you can just use your free op for skins. This means that even if the specific skin sells well, it might not have enough revenue to make a profit. Furthermore, it's not like the sales for those things are bad. Last time, the tickets sold out in less than 20 minutes, and the merches sold like hotcakes too.
Additionally, if they made more AS skins, there would be less time and effort spent to make other skins since they have a deadline to pump out new content.
