>>17291355>Konami and Fromsoft, from a business perspective, would want streamers to play/promote their game for free but they only let Nijisanji have it.You are thinking as if companies were rational beings.
The "better ask forgiveness than permission" attitude that got Hololive into trouble multiple times until the Capcom strikes and lawsuit soured the relatiob between Cover and game companies.
In some cases, more business oriented companies let the bygones be bygones and restored their relationship with Cover.
In other cases, like it seems to be the case for FromSoftware, it seems they held a grudge.
Think about it: to this day, Pekora's MGS stream is her fourth most superchatted. beating even her 2022 birthday live.
Japanese are absurdly autistic with regards to having their things used without permission, be it Minecraft tools, footballs or their intellectual property.
Seeing streamers making 3 million yen by playing their property without even asking "may I?" surely didn't go well.
It's ancient history now but people can hold grudges for long, and it is also the reason Cover doesn't even consider allowing their streams to play any game without written permission
