Reacting to a Discord convo.

Mascot characters are a tool to sell games and have been since the 80s. The fact that prominent indie game companies with mascots are contributing them to crossover games like BrawlOut, Blade Strangers, and Crystal Crisis isn't, like, them biting the devil's fruit or anything. Good things are still possible even with the profit motive!
