>>88112636At face value, and in a vacuum devoid of outside context, this would be a nothingburger.
But this particular hiatus notice comes less than 24 hours after a graduation notice from the same vtuber group, which has been embroiled in controversy and declining sharply for over 8 months, and which has been credibly accused of forcing members to delay their graduations so that the company does not take reputational damage from having too many graduations in too short of a time frame (while at the same time taking no efforts to fix any of the problems that make the members want to leave in the first place)
This is not a nothingburger. This is Ver telling the world that he's leaving, and that he's tired of waiting for management to allow him to head to the lifeboats.
If he returns to streaming as Ver, it'll be for either his wave's anniversary stream(s), or for his own official graduation announcement stream. The latter is extremely unlikely to happen before Nov 17 (for a graduation on or after Dec 1), unless his contract is expiring soon enough for the announcement to need to be before then.
