>>1685149>>1685156Both Biden and AOC were on Animal Crossing, and pfff the Joe Biden thing was on CNN business
https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/18/business/biden-animal-crossing-island-trnd/index.html that's kinda funny to me somehow
CNN, Washington Post, and ABC News all reported on AOC's virtual visits to fans through Animal Crossing, though AOC's use actually seemed pretty wholesome and apolitical from the looks of it
>The NFL Detroit Lions partnered with Animal Crossing to produce a 7min Tom Nook video announcing 2020 schedules>Chuck E Cheese did birthday parties on the islands of the kids>KFC opened an official virtual branch on an Animal Crossing island>actual aquariums used the in-game Animal aquarium to deliver presentations on fish and fossils>fashion designers like Marc Jacobs and Valentino, and fashion brands like Highsnobiety and 100 Thieves designed their own Animal Crossing outfitsIf all this shit can happen in Animal Crossing, then who knows what could happen with Cover's plans for publically-distributed vtuber tech?
All that needs to happen is to get lucky and catch onto a convenient trend, like Animal Crossing did by being an expressive life sim Nintendo game in the midst of coronavirus lockdown and videogame content draught
Fun fact too: Nintendo didn't want Animal Crossing being used like this; they actually tried to ban any sort of political campaigning or brand advertising done through Animal Crossing and people did it anyway, the trend was just that powerful
So if a company had come along who instead embraced the public potential of its product while also happening to match a trend, wouldn't there be a lot of potential for success?
