>>5282081>probably around gen 3That's what they wanted to be back then but there is a CHASM between "wanting very hard" and "working towards" and they were in the first camp
>>5281871>by creating a metaverse of games, manga and promotional music videos on top of what they’re currently doing.Yeah, but that's too much work for what they're capable of now, they still rely too much on
>temporarily authorized copyright infringementIt is a pattern that repeats over and over not only with them but across the industry (both among companies, indies and fan made stuff)

Very few people know but Hololive came this close >.< of receiving what is pretty much the death penalty with regards to streaming and here is why:
>Capcom got tired of Cover using their property without as much as asking permission (which they would likely give) so they striked Mio's channel twice, held the third and sued CoverVery few people understand what three strikes mean on a Google property
>your account is deleted and all your videos and comments are erased>all your associated accounts on Google property (GMail, Google Play Store, Google Music, Google Voice whatever) are also banned>you are banned from ever creating a new account in any of Google's properties (meaning you can no longer create another channel)and, here is the kicker
>any company that creates an account and give you access can also have their own account and all associated accounts bannedHere is an example:

That ".6 billion" on Capcom revenue that would usually be rounded down is 4x larger than Cover.
I said it on some other thread: that suit and Cover swearing on their ancestors grave that "if Capcom let them slide they will make sure the girls have permission from the for everything they stream from them on" was the pivotal moment when they became a company with rules that are enforced.
