>>46890543regarding the fear that, without the chinkpocalypse incident, Kiara would've degenerated into being a 24/7 genshit streamer just because she expressed excitement for the game before shit happened, I don't think so. First of all, maybe I'm misremembering (some archive chicken can help me out here), didn't she made some offhand comment on a stream a while back, paraphrasing, "Genshin? Oh yeah, that was a thing, but I don't really care anymore now, don't have time for gachas in general" etc.
Of course, that could just be sour grapes as well given that she can't stream it anyways, but it's more believeable by the fact that even her roommate, who would be free to play genshin all she wants in private, doesn't care. And to be fair, she has pretty much stopped all her other gachas also. Well, her main one was mostly Arknights anyway, and in typical Kiwawa fashion she was mostly in it not for the "gameplay" or anything but just for pulling waifus to cosplay and coom over, as some time-waster/escape-mechanism back during earlier times pre-Holo when she was in a worse place in life with much less going on. So yeah it's very probable she simply gotten bored of that and/or is much too busy for that kinda shit now, and the same thing would've probably happened with Genshin once the honeymoon period wears off and the grind set in, she would've dropped it anyways and not become a Genshin streamer (or gacha streamer in general, which she isn't now), she also loves variety content too much for that.
Would she have played it at least a few times on stream? Sure, especially when it was the new shiny fotm meta, but I think she would've grown bored of it pretty quickly, once you've hit the "seen basically everything / now all that's left is basically just to keep swiping your credit card to complete some autismo collection" wall that these games invariably all hit pretty soon, then it's just endless tedium. And again - it's not like there aren't any other cute anime girl mobile gacha games Hololive is allowed to play. There are enough non-chink games, and some other Holos (mostly JP) do stream them occasionally (or all at once, when something hits a new fotm arc). But Kiara still never really did and joined in, so I presume (it's not JUST that she'd only care for the unavailable chink gacha games, and not for the available non-chink gachas) even she realized at some point gachas probably aren't good streaming games for her, so she never really bothered to make them a major part of her content (outside the occasional sponsored shill stream)
