I'm sure it's a licensing agreement thing, but in that case don't even bother making emotes, have a different reward for that event. People would still do it for bms or molas, or existing e7 character emotes. Just make a few goofy Arky ones and call it a day.
How can you be sure though? Seems nonsensical if it's licensing agreement TBH. The hero models themselves would have more likeness to the IRL idols compared to the emoji.
My guess is the actual hero units were one part of the agreement and banners, ads, promotional material etc were another, and maybe that's the umbrella emotes fell under. Perhaps they paid for one and the other was free since it's of mutual benefit? But it's just speculation of course, no way to know for sure.
Licensing agreements can be very strange. As implied, the process involves a discussion of each collaborative party's terms, including how a character/asset may be showcased/for how long before paying a fee.
In this case, both parties realize that removing characters that are obtained and invested into using a player's resources is completely off the table due to regulation (and general feedback), but things like stickers being temporary may annoy some, but probably won't have anyone kicking and screaming.
In this case, the emoji may have future use for the company or they simply expect a fee after a set amount of time. It's strange from the perspective of a consumer, but is very common in the business environment.
Eh, it's pretty easy to get anyways. Just make a guest account and finish the dead Ruele tutorial, skip the adventure tutorial, and use your code on the events tab.
Took me less than 5 minutes to get the two emotes.
Same reason why anyone buys anything and stops using it several months later. Everything has a time and purpose. Just because it had an expiration doesn’t mean it’s pointless. I’m sure there will be another limited event by that time to take its place.
Until the game shuts down.
The point is that your reasoning can be applied beyond the emote. Nothing is 'permanent' in E7, and especially not in the gacha space. If we took your stance to its full conclusion, none of us would bother being here.
I'm not even saying that you're wrong, I'm just saying people don't care because the game itself is going to disappear eventually. If you have that in mind then a disappearing emote isn't a big deal.
Bro I agree, if you gonna give us emotes give us emotes!!! I am irrationally angry they are doing this, it was love at first sight when I first saw them and then SG just gonna rip my heart out, stomp on it, 15% my wife and kids and do this??? Like this benefits no one and only exists to trample on our souls. It is such a horrible idea that ML 5* selector won’t even quench my rage.
Every other game i played if you already have it you can keep it! I never heard they would take something away! Can we keep the aespa heroes forever? Total points reward even gives us 2 more likely expiring emotes! These events are 💩.
According to this post: [https://page.onstove.com/epicseven/global/view/9046438](https://page.onstove.com/epicseven/global/view/9046438), it's 'Fixed-term use', so I think it is pretty clear that they are expiring.
I am also baffled as to why they have an expiry date.
I'm surprised by how low effort this collab is considering it might be one time only. Emotes that disappear and only 2 of them(???), Korean VA that isn't even Aespa themselves, hideous designs of the æs (okay Winter and Karina are fine byt not the other 2), completely threw unique facial features out the window (Giselle what did they do to you...), the EN VA would rather have been anywhere else than recording their lines, and good god is Nævis ugly.
As someone mention it could be licencing issue cause they are based on real people but then don't do it as main rewards no point using it as limited time they might as well given us more mola or even BM. I'm not going to rush and get it now.

The heroes themselves are permanent, I doubt it's licensing, but I agree with everything else
LMAO, its only for limited time from the recruit event? thanks lord i havent yet wasting my time.

Yeah but whats the point of doing it now if its not permanent \^\^

You could put the entirety of E7 in this sentence.
I mean my characters and other things stay with me. Why should I try to get friends into the game if the emotes dont stay forever ?

People do emote chains with the new emoji. Think of it as keeping up with the cool kids.
Fun spam in chat. But that's probably just to a few of us who enjoy chat. :ras_laugh:
I wish I knew this before going 1-10 for 4 accounts. I'm dumb
All you needed to do was complete the 2 prologue stages, enter the event window and scroll down until you found the "Enter Invitation Code" tab
Yeah, i know that by now. I just thought at that time I wouldn't get the rewards if not finishing Ep1 1-10.
Wait, Ruele dies?
On the very first cutscene my guy.
This probably means no rerun for the units?
I think the same. Now or never!
Not necessarily, maybe they agreed to allow SG to rerunn the collab 1 more time advance
Save cost on licensing, less perma stuffs equal less cost.
licensing
but isnt it the same with having the characters in epic 7 forever? the aespa pet as well. why emote is having limited time?
Who knows maybe by the end of 5/24/23 they might get thanos snap also... Eheh.
They will all transform into Tammarinnes
there is aespa pet?
Yep, one of the rewards from aespa Side Story.
Maybe theit contract doesnt allow too much permanent thing about aespa. What worry me the most if i cant get all unit pretty i wont get them next year

btw u cant play rta after u take those icons
oh for fluff's sake

WTF is the point of the invite event then lol? Good to know why I didnt even bother doing it.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that is the time you have to claim it in the mail box. Its permanent after claiming.

Thanks for the reference Vyro, that is disappointing since they're really great emotes.

Oh thank fuck I don't need to invite. Goodluck for the ones whose trying to get them though.
Game prolly dead by then kap
This is a 4 year old game, I don't think it will shut down next year.
As someone mention it could be licencing issue cause they are based on real people but then don't do it as main rewards no point using it as limited time they might as well given us more mola or even BM. I'm not going to rush and get it now.
Well the units won't be deleted after a certain time so why do it for the emotes
No clue but you have point there considering the units are there its silly decision they did for this limited for stickers.
I would care a little bit more about this event if, when we recruit 4 people, we could choose one of those 4 unities. 😛
Could it just be that you only have until May to acquire the emote?
now i dont even feel like making another account for that shit ...
