>>77467888Yeah, Phase really benefited the most from NijiEN imploding, probably due to immediate size, advertisement and the "openness" of how Sakana advertised running his company and avoiding yabs in that timeframe. V4Mirai should've probably had more appeal but as other threads discussed, they were too small and didn't have enough of a reach to capture people from the funnel except for people going from fairy to vampire because same mama.
Profitability is the hardest question, Phase's biggest issue is capital and being able to spend it on things that are profit or profitless but do well for community perception. That's why he is only considering Invaders or has them in the basement at the moment and probably why some members like Clara are gone in June to work on them. Brave Group may be able to accelerate over Phase at some point given their resources because of that. Nothing against Fishman for how he runs his business but that is just the reality when he has no outside funding. Not to mention his spending on things can be confusingly frivolous and then he penny pinches on the weirdest things.
