>>10216062The current mecha musume boom is literally because of Frame arms girls and Megami Device, along with what I suspect to be the boom of waifu culture. You have grown ass men world over spending thousands of dollars for a chance at a jpeg that won't exist anymore after a decade or less, it's the perfect storm.
As for the annoyances of kit developers dealing with Konami, Apsy approached koto with the prototypes of megami device Arnval 10 years ago. Megami device has only been a line for about 6 or 7. We have had megami device shinki in development longer than megami device has EXISTED.
Apsy has also had multi-paragraph rants about how much he hates Konami for how they treated shinki. The man did almost all the legwork for the re:boot stuff and then he got ghosted. If there was ever a reason to hate Konami, their treatment of Apsy and Shinki are the absolute number one.
