Sean, I'm going to TRY to have a reasonable conversation with you........
Let's not even start with that, shall we? To be searingly blunt, every time anyone raised a comment on the progress of LH, you acted like we were killing your baby. All we were trying to do was make this the best possible product so people would buy it.
Yes, it's I who set that sixty dollar bar. Based on the full prices of both, that's what it comes down to. But assuming the half price sales continue for whatever period of time, you're still looking at a thirty dollar investment of an impulse item just to get started. Adding in the general resistance to male figures, that's going to be enough for folks to say, "Sorry, no."
Yes, those of us who asked for a male figure did so because we wanted one. I dont see why the concept of a separate, baked-in morph/cr2 is such an impossibility. I dont see it as cutting the floor out from under anyone, nor do I see as "not smart". I'd see it as a way of having a single level character, not requiring a separate cr2 to make it viable — and as a result, a product that more people would be willing to buy instead of putting a purchased requisite in front of it. Why is that so difficult? What would make that such a threat to the sales of Dusk and/or Orion? Does anyone complain when we see countless female "characters", even as morphs of an existing mesh? Are any of them perceived to be a threat to sales of Dawn or LF? I just find the whole mentality around the way male characters are marketed here as utterly bewildering.
I am going to repeat again, for the benefit of those who clearly need to see it: I'm hoping I'm wrong about all this. I'm hoping the vendors will pick up on LH and give the users all manner of inventory to work with. But I also think it's a reasonable fear that that's not going to happen.
Well, whatever, I guess. Moving on, because, you know, I'm just one customer, and what do I know, right?
