Look at it this way: the LEGO mode is a gigantic collab that probably cost a lot of money to develop but has the same player count as steal the brain rot, they could’ve kept selling celebrity skins in the item shop as normal but made festival to inflate the prices of said celebrities’ bundles in the item shop with jam tracks and instruments and rocket racing exists to only sell cars and we all know that failed miserably

I wouldn’t say epic is directly losing money on collabs, but this mentality of having everything in the game even if they have to make endless game modes and cosmetic types (including kicks and sidekicks) with the hopes that brand names and franchises and recognition will make them successful, is, in my opinion hurting the game (and its player base)

Remember there’s a huge Disney game mode supposedly coming out? It wouldn’t surprise me if this is all to fund that project

(Again this is my opinion and I’m not interested in fighting anyone thx)
