>>71397216That's possible, but he likely did it out of personal spite because Mel out means a huge blow to the mental health and general motivation of her respective Generation, that's not good because it could lead to another member leaving in their own terms if it hits them at the wrong time, chain reactions like this happen across indie groups and smaller corpos, it also hurts the steady and slow gains and it hurts the investor's trust and the company's reputation as Hololive barely has graduations or terminations unlike CollegeSanji express.
It also meant scrambling to delete Mel from god knows how many merch and other stuff due to contractual obligations which means losses. I assume they had to throw away a lot of Fes stuff that was already printed but stored.
He probably now has someone relaying all the public NijiYAB info to upper management and him so he and company can time announcements with the Niji fuckups for maximum damage, dude probably smiled at the max stock value drop that just happened.
I know YAGOO-san is not actively malicious but after Mel's case and all the other bullshit Nijisanji does that likely affects them indirectly and the image of large VTuber corpos, he now definitely wants them out of the game. And he's doing it with just announcing how much better they are. And he's not wrong.
>What made YAGOO go into the offensive?Now he finally noticed COVER is big enough that he can unironically and terminally run Tazumi's shady business straight into the ground by actually being competent and just showing how to do things, no need for corporate espionage or sabotage (Mel's case). He just has to keep it clean. Something Nijisanji will struggle until their apparent soon-to-be imminent demise.
>On Riku's caseI still believe Riku's family might give him a helping hand for a final year push in case the recovery situation happens in a few months or weeks to save the company but if he grifts immediately instead then NIJI and everyone involved in known bull crap is done forever. And he has grifted thrice already. Not looking good for the people and employees, chuubas included, who went balls deep into the Nijibag.
