>>100819743This one can unfortunately be seen as both spite and "business."
Turning down the record deal was just ridiculous because somebody on the board owned a competing label.
But the konami thing was after she had already turned in her papers. The sneaky project released in october and Pomu graduated in january. If they let Pomu go ahead and advertise a big collab like that, only for Pomu to no longer be in the company, it'd be bad face or whatever.
Again, if you want an example of just throwing money away, you can look at the last cup of coffee cover. The song was already made. The video was published. All waiting permissions were internal. All they had to do was sit back and "earn" a free 98% cut. Instead, they privated it immediately, which completely guts it in terms of the youtube algorithm and makes it so that barely anybody will ever even see it, only now Selen wasted her money on it for no compensation.
What they COULD have done if they actually cared about money was just to leave it up and punish her behind the scenes instead of public humiliation.
