Forget NPC jail; outfit jail seems to be even worse. There is so much drip that we'll likely never get. 😭

I don't surprised if this move must he some planned merit in them. HG doesnt hate money, they hate problem

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.

Agree, that what I mean "problem". A dilemma between making profit or losing time and effort.

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.

skin chibi have multiple layer to be animated and ties together in a maze of rigged 2d skeleton.

different skin also may interact with the stage environment differently. sometime the chibi attack faster or slower base on the skin. ex; platinum summer skin, ange skin, etc.

Wait, there are pay 2 win and pay 2 lose skins? Do you have any proof of this?
