Can a game company trash its own flagship character's lore in the sequel, then immediately turn around and sell her skins in the original game AND a third title — all at the same time? Sunborn Network just did exactly that, and the GFL community is absolutely livid.

The saga starts with Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium (追放). After launch, the character Type 95's story arc became one of the most controversial topics in the community. The so-called 'Mrs. Raymond' incident essentially nuked 95's character identity — players say she was 'completely destroyed as a character.' The fire is still burning, and fan anger hasn't cooled one bit.

But Sunborn wasn't done. Right in the middle of the unresolved 95 controversy, the original Girls' Frontline (GFL1) quietly dropped a brand-new Type 95 skin in its latest Battle Pass. Community sleuths quickly pointed out the absurdity: the character's lore is in ruins in the sequel, but they're still cashing in on her in the prequel.

It gets worse. According to commenters, Neural Cloud (云图计划) is also pushing related character content. One player summed it up perfectly: 'Neural Cloud is releasing a G36 variant, GFL1 just dropped a new 95 skin in the Battle Pass — I'm seriously questioning this company's mental state.' Three games milking the same character IP simultaneously — the community calls it 'shooting yourself in both feet' (中门对狙).
The comment section is unanimously brutal. One highly-upvoted reply nailed it: 'The character's ruined, skins won't sell anymore — better dump them out before the brand collapses completely. Makes perfect sense.' Another was even more scathing: 'With the 95 controversy still unresolved, they had the audacity to push her skins in not one but two games. This kind of shamelessness is clearly embedded in the company's DNA.'

Players also weaponized memes. Comments spamming 'Mrs. Raymond, when did you arrive?' became shorthand for the entire debacle. One user broke down Sunborn's strategy with dark humor: 'They want to sell skins to the waifu collectors, sell skins to the shippers, AND destroy the character's lore in the process — one IP, triple profit. Peak corporate efficiency.'
As of writing, Sunborn has issued no official response. But one thing is painfully clear: in the shadow of Exilium's ongoing reputation crisis, this 'squeeze every last drop from one character' approach will only accelerate the erosion of player trust. After all, when a company doesn't even respect its own iconic characters, why should the fans keep spending?
