>>80385992I think they're genuinely looking for interesting indies precisely because this would be pointless if they'd just end up inviting someone like Mint or another ex-Niji.
They know they can just send Mint or other people they're close with a letter and announce a new debut if that letter is accepted, so why waste money on applications?
There's no guarantee that they'll hire an indie that wasn't already close to them this time, but they at least want to see which indies would consider joining them.
