The makers of Rainbow Six Siege have repeatedly said they plan to eventually release over 100 Operators for the game, which is certainly a lofty goal. Thus far, the game only has 40 Operators (42 once the new Grim Sky update hits) so Ubisoft is going to be at it for quite some time. Will it even be possible to create 100 unique, interesting Operators?

In a recent interview with VG247, Rainbow Six Siege community developer Craig Robinson explained how the developers decide which characters to make next, and how the players impact those decisions.
