>>3213513Anon please at least bother watching the stream... that was an special exception because of the specific product Lamy wanted to develop, it's not by any means the norm, Lamy wanted special sake overseen by her that's why she had to chip in with her own money, Lamy herself even made a point out of making clear that said is not the case for regular merch, but that due ot her personal involvement on it the process was different.
>>3213422I guess that despite Cover owning the characters it's ultimately up to the talent how they're represented and marketed
Noel went into it on her profile making mengen so they won't go around and make merch without the talent's permission due to fear of misrepresenting them
