>>62472746That entire branch was completely fucked either way, If anything the closing of the branch over the taiwan yab was the best possible scenario for them. Weeks after their firing china enacted laws requiring bilibili streamers to give their personal info into a database that was publicly available to be accessed. There's also been other others put in place that really struck against vtuber companies making a profit, along with the rights of indies over there.
I would go as far as to say the yab that would have 100% happened if HoloCN stayed around would have arguably been the biggest yab that could ever possibly happen in vtubing, next to someone getting straight up murdered on a livestream.
That's how lucky Cover got with their choice.
