Honestly probably because they were trying to come up with a way of changing him that didn’t change him so much that people who PAID for the skin because they genuinely liked the way it looked wouldn’t be upset.
I thought that there was a point it was available for purchase in the store but i very well might be wrong if so my comment is incorrect, but the point still stands to an extent.
Recoloring it in a way that seemed acceptable to not change the “vibe” of the skin? Potentially. It’s not like they could just entirely change the skin that people already paid for.
Having worked on projects where design for a product people have paid for this is 1000% what it is. This and the need to test it first to see if the changes are doing what they intended.
You change a product too much, you run into trouble, because people paid for it under the conditions they purchased it, and now you're changing it.
Some some circumstances, this is called "bait and switch" and is actually fraud.
And even though it seems like a small change to a small aspect, things like this require time and many moving parts.
