Because whoever owns Gundam doesn't give a shit about the quality of a video game. The franchise exists to sell merchandise.

It's still astounding to me that people do not understand the power of merchandising.

You don't seem to understand how Cover actually makes their money, or how most corporations do.

Pic related. Streaming likely accounts for a very small portion of the overall profits. Business is all about merchandising and Gura's design is marketable as fuck which is why the Japanese fucking love her and why Cover so frequently uses art of Gura to advertise Hololive in Japan. Gura's mere existence is an extremely valuable asset to Cover.

It's definitely not a small amount but Hololive has brought in hundreds of millions. Hell, this fiscal quarter alone has been over 80 million. Even if you add up all the donations since its inception you will not come anywhere close to that amount. I don't think you understand the power of merchandising.
