How to harness the power of moe:

1. Have a thing.
2. Make it into a waifu.
3. Profit!

This makes my once horse-crazy heart warm indeed. I hope Nice Nature enjoys his retirement to the fullest.

You'd think the people behind the game itself would be able to contribute something considering how much they're making

Sure they could have, but no company would donate and skip the positive PR, even more so when it's tied directly to their branding.

i wont accept a weaksauce reason if you say that you cant read moonrunes so you didn't check the article

they dont want to boast about it, i can see why and it's not about the PR

I actually missed that post :p

Thanks for the info ショキ Smile

Looking at them though, the only donations mentioned are from the anime, not the game. So my point still stands. Even if they didn't care about PR (ha!) then you'd still expect it to come up elsewhere.

Edit: Looking at the comments on the second page, it seems that at least in 2018, cygames put out a press release (which is PR btw), that they donated to related organizations. Hopefully, they've continued to do so.
