>>84618602I think the main problem is that no matter what, COVER keeps saying they are a tech startup instead of a VTuber company and software dev is their priority.
So, one must imagine Tanigo as someone who's trying to branch from VTubers while using their IPs while not losing focus initially on them because he has no guarantee VTubers will still be a thing or be a profitable thing or worse yet, be profitable in the way Hololive does them in like 10 years and beyond, and much less if most of their star roster of talents will still be in Hololive by then. Cue them trying to sprint through development of so many things.
Remember something, Sora only exists because she was supposed to promote the Hololive App. The thing that eventually got canned and now is spiritually succeeded by HoloPlus. But there's a sorta problem with all of this, and it's that the VTuber aspect is strongly tied to the company's operations, so we have this weird dissonance in which the company is first things a software company but it's also undeniably a VTuber company now because the later is the reason why it doesn't just die.
>In other words?They are investing in so much semi-VTuber related stuff or barely fully related to talents because they suspect VTubers will exist in the future, however they also suspect their own popularity might be a FAD. So staying as they are might be suicidal from a business and stability standpoint.
And considering recent events, revelations, chains of misfortune and a lot of bad things from their main rival company (for now, Anycolor), it's safe to assume all of this can, at any moment, fucking collapse because it's built upon a fragile trust. One that, when put in perspective, is really insane.
I don't know how I would operate such a business, I would probably have stepped down by now yet Tanigo is still there, facing it head-on. That guy must have the patience of a God or something. I wouldn't know how to deal with so many issues + women.
