I think more like a "Hey, push Oni to give us permission! Wait, did I say give us? I mean give them. Yeah...that's the ticket. Give them permission to put their things into Oni's game."Is this a botpost?
Those skills aren't innately implemented into this game. So, if they want *those* skills into *this* game, someone (probably Oni) will have to write and implement them. Because business/cross sell!
Did some light digging:

So, just a publisher looking to expand their library. If you don't know how shady some game publishers can be (and I'm not an expert. This is just what I hear from all the game-related youtube channels I subscribe to), remember that activision-blizzard, EA and Ubisoft are, ultimately, game publishers.Depends on who actually made the games, Kagura just publishes them. Most are garbage but there are some real gems too like Demon's Roots.
If Oni wanted this, if they want to do this, they don't need us to push Oni. They just need to contact him directly. My guess is, they tried, Oni ignored it because, well, yeah. So now they're trying to drum up grass-root hype to pressure him into doing it.
Basically, if this does happen, there's no outcome that's good. If they want Oni to implement the code, it'd require a complete overhaul of the game. If you think updates are slow now, wait until he has to overhaul the game. If they offer to implement the code, they can mess around with the game code. In which case, they can sneak in viruses, ads, tracking, you name it. And that's also ignoring the fact that that could mean them implementing their IP into Oni's code. Allow them to claim he can't do X or Y because that would violate their intellectual property. Lastly, saying "give us permission to use these skills" is a complete misunderstanding of how Oni's code works. These things aren't objects you can just physically hand to someone and they magically have it. The only people that think like that are non-devs and, frankly, (not all, but somehow always) managers and sales people that care more about their personal gains than, like, making sure a game is good.
