>>57116584Professor Lando and Randon will make significantly more money as they are on Twitch right now with their 2-4k CCV audience, or even with an audience as small as 200 people, than they were on youtube with youtube and cover both taking percentage cuts of the pie.
Unless we assume Magni and Vesper are assholes who walked into the office and threw their balls on the table like some suggest, they probably didn't explicitly want to burn bridges after getting model reworks and merely wanted a percentage increase to compensate the tradeoff vs. being an indie, as being in a corporation has many benefits in sponsorships, concerts, covers, and such but the logical assumption is that the income tradeoff was not so great and they assumed they'd have some leverage being top earners in StarsEN up to that point.
Cover dragged out their graduations, or the more cynical would say forced them to be out of work for 2 months keeping them in limbo either to make them sign or to punish them, but hopefully this was because of negotiation.
Randon was stressed and was reasonably afraid that dropping out of cover (which did not seem like something he 100% wanted to do despite memes about how he bitchslaps managers and goes straight to yagoo) would make people hate him and was elated to find people were just missing him for the most part and things might actually work out in spite of the last few months of weirdness.
There is no unicorn conspiracy much as there is no homobeggar conspiracy, as a corporation Cover pursues profit and cross gender collabs ended when there was no profit there. Likewise cover does not want to give people raises when the current model works fine. The recent issue with z-aN was by an error on their part which Cover had no control over and was unfortunate but Cover chose to make the concert free in hopes of keeping their longterm margins good by keeping customers happy- they likely have some kind of insurance there.
Profit is what matters for everyone involved, there is no malicious attempt to cut off one's nose to spite one's face. People who think Lando was 10D chessing his way into Japanese streamer circles and gave up when that didn't happen, people who think cover pushed Randon out because Stars didn't blow up like vox akuma, these are both wrong. Stability and profit.
