whats the deal with co op babies

[Lord Tony]

so the co op babies can't be used for online

And why are they a reward for defeating high powerful bosses like mega satan?

[Bunny Massacre]

I don't think they thought a lot of things through with this multiplayer nonsense. It's true, they made all the co-op babies useless, so you now get zero rewards for Mega Satan on half of the characters. Fight him for the pretty red mark now, I guess.

Their entire existence is basically grandfathered in from before Repentance added real co-op. Jacob & Esau's unlocked special babies straight-up don't function, and they never bothered to fix them because who is even still using co-op babies in Repentance?

well they need to either get rid of them or turn them into familiars

because this is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lol

if they were familiars I wouldn't be as mad

Edmund/Nicalis were obsessed with the couch co-op multiplayer babies idea so much even though barely anyone played it, and probably no one will since the release of Repentance.
They had no ideas for Mega Satan unlocks because Afterbirth was just like that.
Half-baked DLC with half-baked unlocks.

At least the tainted characters have crazy cool concepts for unlocks with Mega Satan.

You mean like Buddy In A Box? It's a common shop item, that gives you a random co-op baby familiar /w a Fruit Cake-like effect which randomizes each floor, so you potentially get to enjoy several different each run. There's just a ton of co-op babies in the game.
