>>48218349Cover thought they could have their cake and eat it too, capitalize on Luxiem's success and the resulting NijiEN culture where the boys and girls collabed a lot, mixed gens, etc. but at the same time maintain what had drawn a lot of people to HoloEN in the first place: cute girls doing cute things. It did not work. Niji had already won the male game as soon as Vox opened his mouth.
Btw I disagree that HoloEN is dead, just in a slump. You also have to point out that they were sort of declining before Tempus anyway compared to 2021 which is mostly due to the pandemic buff wearing off and a lack of innovation/consistent streaming and projects for some members. Poor game choice, one-offs for more interesting games that they never return to (looking at you Gura). Permissions bullshit. So it is a combination of things, but Tempus did not help things.
