Well that blows, hopefully he changes his mind on that.

I liked HLVR and the Deltarune streams he's done but don't generally keep up with him, what did he say?

Seems like alot of work when you could just pay a modeler/sculptor and get functionally the same thing

He lives off of residual checks from the original series, sold his likeness in the 80s for spinoffs, made some bad investments in the early 2000s, now he's in a trailer park, but he makes due.
