Well that sucks, but yeah, in the case of collabs, TN would have to probably renew the license eventually which I'm guessing would not be cheap for something like Attack on Titan or Fairy Tail. Don't know why they'd discontinue the non-collab DLC though unless pretty much no one was buying it.
I just asked Tom Lee. He said the stage will be a separate download for people to be able to buy, however all the costumes involving that mashup and Fairy Tail will not be in the store.
But wait I still don't get it, does that mean there's like some separate contract for just the stage? is it because TN worked on the stage that takes priority over the actual collaboration?
I wonder why they still allow that one tho...maybe because TN developed the stage on their own and they did make the AOT game, maybe it's a deal or something?
Ehhh, that stage isn't something of a MUST BUY (at least for me) but I do like it better than Sky City Tokyo by just a bit due to the fact it has the barrels+boxes and it's daylight. Other than that, eehhh neutral.
Probably a separate contract for the AoT stage since stages require a lot more work to produce than costumes. I don't think anything can really justifiably be removed from the stage because not just the colossal titan is from AoT. The whole stage is based off of AoT's building design style. But yeah, if the stage becomes unavailable, does that mean it'll become banned in tourneys?
I am actually curious how this resulted in. Normally collaborations for games is a permanent guaranteed thing for that base game only until the next installment. However this might be different for DLC. (That's actually new).
The stage according to Tom might stay but the AoT costumes like the DOAFES ones might just be a limited time thing.
I wonder if they had to pay a monthly/yearly licensing fee (like netflix does to keep shows) and now that no one's buying from these packs KT doesn't want to foot the bill to keep them up
