I think it's more people either commissioned or wrote in their OCs/SIs to put in game for fun (fenco/savco games have always focused on input from the community through submissions, donations, commissions, etc), not necessarily that they paid money expressly to fuck and fuck over the player.
That is proof that they are SIs.
But there is also the part where the owners of those SIs explicitly and specifically requested that their precious SIs will never be on the receiving end
As in, people asked to turn things around on those characters.
Fen explicitly told us no, and explicitly told us it is because their owner does not want the character to be on the receiving end.
This came up multiple times, and is also part of why they are hostile to modding. Because modders wrote options to desecrate their precious SIs. Which greatly offended them.
I didn't take screencaps because I didn't think the forums will get deleted.
