>>49482143She has no hesitation in spending her own money to get what she wants, but I'd say VOMS wasn't able to provide her with either - the model directly, or the income necessary to commission it herself.
She spent $10k on Isekai Pikamee just for ungrateful faggots to shit on it, so it's little surprise that she wouldn't want to scrounge and save for a 3D model when it could be accomplished much faster, or given to her outright, by a larger organization.
I'm very grateful to GYARI for having introduced us to Pikamee, and I'm still very happy to know Tomoshika. I don't blame Pikamee for leaving any more than I blame someone for finding a new job. Yeah it sucks, and it can hurt if they've become a part of your life, but ultimately everyone has to do what they believe is best to take care of themselves. I'd love for her to stay in VOMS as Pikamee with her cute little sister avatar, but that's selfish, and that's me thinking about what's best for me - not Pikamee.
I do hope she'll leverage this position to bring some of that audience back to VOMS and Tomoshika in particular, but we'll need to wait for the dust to settle a bit first.
