No Prodigy in Star Trek Timelines?

[Darth Thanos]

I have been playing Star Trek Timelines for some weeks now, and I have a huge crew with characters from almost all the series... but there seems to be no character from Star Trek Prodigy. Not even hologram Janeway, the easiest to integrate into the larger context of the game (as the rest of the crew are not from any species or organizations introduced before). Is the show too recent? Is there a licensing problem of some kind?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it took a bit of time after Lower Decks aired to integrate those characters into Timelines.
I suspect they will do the same with Prodigy.

Well, to be honest, I used to be a Star Trek fan many years ago. Then there was a reboot and I got out (a reboot means that everything done in the past no longer counts; great for newcomers, but not for older fans). It was only recently, a pair of months, that I became aware that the reboot only lasted for a couple of films I can easily ignore and that all the new Star Trek productions returned to the original canon. I'm trying to get up to date with all the stuff I missed, including games.

On the Timelines forums, the Owners said Pordigy is for children, so not pursuing those licences.

They do have Lowr Decks and TAS though, so it's an odd choice in my opinion.

(Prodigy is excellent!)

I can't imagine many kids today are watching TAS, and Lower Decks is aimed at older audiences.

I suspect the problem is that Timelines is pretty pushy with its monetization, so it would be problematic to include a show aimed at children.

Prodigy is for children? That's their excuse?
Meh... it's not really accurate, seeing how it has a lot of things that live action series have (or don't have) and plenty of grownups watch it.

Its a 'technicality' if you ask me. Prodigy was originally envisioned to be for kids mainly as it airs on Nickelodeon (if I'm not mistaken), but besides that, it has all the hallmarks of a live action Trek series that's at its best.

Convenient marketing. TPTB do what they always do, whatever they want.
