Typical of this game, would have expected a official response from a dev by now like

Why ?
OP already has the answer NO

no need for Dev to bother

my opinion, they might appeal to the under 13 crowd
Let’s add stickers to our guns!

Cluj Nap-Aura 2015
Kira-wice 2016

Oo boy can’t wait for these stickers to roll out.

Reminder that SD ripped off from other donut steels with their meme trinkets like that stupid frog (they put it on a tricycle to distinguish from the unicycle original).

nobody owns the trademark for a meme tho.
(rare exception like grumpy cat has been trademarked)

its not stealing if nobody owns it on the first place.

Menes aren’t owned, they are shared. Sooner or later, they get stale and overused until no one is satisfied.

Just like food in gulag!

And yer mum.

Actually I’m pretty sure that the frog is owned by Animation Factory so that’s why they changed his unicycle.

they sell animation, the idea of frog on unicycle itself and images being spread cant be charged for money.

like how hatsune miku works.

sure people can buy songs made by artist using the vocaloid (artist owned the song and copyrighted it), but nobody can really claim the ownership of hatsune miku since anybody anywhere at any time can make one.

(hatsune miku is probably owned by goodsmile or kadokawa by now)
