Subaru gets deep into RPG games and has a ton of fun genuinely engaging with it.
Kiara ignores RPG stories for the most part and just yaps to her audience about whatever, and her audience enjoys that too.
Some holos play games straight, some try to make jokes out of what they encounter, but in every single one of their streams, no matter what "boring" game they are playing, they will try their hardest to entertain the audience.
What Riona did by blaming the game she was playing for being "boring", was basically admit that she was not going to go out of her way to entertain the audience. She couldn't stick with a game for more than an hour, or talk to her audience, or genuinely engage with the game, or hell - if it's really that boring, then mock the shit out of it! The audience is fine with that too.
She basically blamed the game for her lack of entertainment skills, and then just privated the VOD. Her "apology" was essentially "I'm sorry your feelings got hurt".
All of it signaled to the audience that she is not the type to introspect on things and improve, and that she will continue blaming everything else except herself in her journey forward.
It will take at least a year to repair the damage that one yab did to her.
