What I didn't get from the statement was which feature finally tipped the balance - texture compatibility, clothing compatibility or something else? Was it a combination of factors which finally made Lilin too 'V3-like'?

The reason I ask is that there are a number of Unimesh texture-compatible items in freestuff (one or two in the marketplace as well). I'd imagine the MP vendors have been very careful about obtaining consent for their items, but what's the score on the freebies?
