> "Kuzuha-kun, do you prefer your fans sending superchats or buying merch?"> Uhhh, Superchat? I wonder which is better. I guess I like both.> Holy Shit my merch sold so much! I don't give a shit about my LoL results anymore (playing LoL).> Thank you VERY much! I'm so happy!> Well damn, in that case, the company is raking in the profits with these goods huh.> They can't be forgiven! Anycolor! (joke)> Well not like I can make goods anyway. Thank you again.> How much is Anycolor making off these anyway?> *makes tick tock noises* Oh shit, that's the sound of me getting fired.> Well Anycolor is releasing decent merch nowadays. The quality of merch has increased a lot in the past 6 months. Not like I know, but still.> "Anycolor does not compromise after all." - chat> But they do though?> *more tick tock noises* It's a joke, Anycolor is a company that does not compromise (another joke).> "corporate criticism" - chat. Eh, this isn't really criticism.> Can you guys not go full 100%?^ (since Japanese loses a lot of meaning without context, this line can oft be misrepresented as him saying "Can you guys not take 100% of the cut?", but the context makes it clear he's talking about their merch, or maybe his chat jumping into conclusions)
> There's a balance between cost and performance y'know.> There's a measure of quality where you can make a compromise.> I'm not really trying to shit on them, but I guess in the end it's still criticism huh.> If the quality rises, naturally the cost also rises.> They're trying to balance cost and the number of items they can move, so naturally there will be times where they'll have to compromise on quality.> Even then, the merch quality has risen a lot in the past 6 months.> *chat asks for a cushion*> They can't put out something like that. The cost-performance is shit for something like that. Anycolor isn't a charity y'know!
