A real non schizo talk regarding the collabs, before Vesper even got suspended, Magni in one of his Subnautica streams has said they wanted to cut back on all these collabs because it was becoming too stressful to plan all these projects across different time zones and availabilities so it’s safe to say they just wanted to take it easy and stop. Vesper’s suspension and Axel being in Japan may have prematurely cut any remaining collabs that were on the table such as Vesper saying he had made something for Risu’s NNN but him getting suspended meant she wasn’t allowed to use it.
Now is it possible that Cover was so fucking autistic they didn’t give give the memo to anyone outside Tempus so it was in the best interest to put some distance? It definitely is, the suspension came from the JP end first, his suspension lasted 14 business days, and Axel’s zatsu today revealed that JP management has tried sticking their hands in Tempus’ operations before (not related to Vesper btw) and the EN director (a Japanese man interestingly enough) has told them to fuck off. So make what you will out of that info.
