Thank god Kanna can keep her model but 10k is crazy. I mean what are they going to do with these IPs if they stop all of their activities?

PixelLink seemed like they were doing well, their talents had decent numbers. But then I see that Raki needs $10,000 dollars to buy her IP from the company when the company should just write it off and give it to the talents, especially when they're the ones winding down the company.

Didn't even a dumpster fire like Tsunderia give their talents their IPs for free when they were shutting down? Even if it was ok to have them buy it out 10k is way too much lol

I'm not saying it isn't scummy but what do they have to lose? It's not as if the company is going to exist anymore to have a reputation one way or the other. There is a non zero amount of companies that will say "fuck it, screw the employees on the way out the door" when in situations like this.

There is zero incentive to be nice.

As cute as it is Mococo shouldn't be streaming if she's falling asleep or has a throat so sore she sounds like a battered kitten.

They streamed at noon (start was 11 am jst). I have absolutely no idea what she did to be so tired at around 1-2 pm. Or is she now sleep deprived by default? I rarely watch Fuwamoco
It's been a while since the last time I heard Haachama's english so it was a pleasant surprise to see her interact with Ina. Biboo read Haachama's english doujinshi out loud during their Advent collab so here is a longer clip how this happened

Also that Nerissa post on her PL vs Nerissa is kind of ironic because Holo will do the exact same thing to her if it ever closes or she leaves.

Did you just...... manually resize with the handlebars to be giant again after thumbnailing them or something? Don't normally see posts of basically 2 tweets filling a full screen worth of page real-estate. It just looked like what we typically see when people don't know how thumbnails work, maybe I'm wrong though.1740338188803.png

No and they aren't really taking up more space vertically than any other thumbnailed image.

The difference is that Holo is not likely to be in the process of ceasing to exist when Nerissa is leaving. The PixelLink IPs are going to be essentially worthless as soon as they cease operation.

It would be a very kind gesture to allow the talents to retain what are otherwise worthless assets. But I'm guessing that there are probably shareholders who would be opposed to not wringing every cent possible out before turning off the lights.

is it different?
How Useful has Rushia or Coco's IP been to Holo since their departure? Aqua in any merch?

There might be a difference seen in this "affiliate" system going forward but so far we just have a loose concept of what that might be and no ideas as to if it will actually result in anything.

but in general with what we have seen thus far, those IP's are dead and useless when holo's leave as well and at least so far that'll be true for Nerissa too if she ever leaves. I'm not even saying any of this to trash holo whatsoever I just got chuckle seeing the dichotomy of Nerissa lamenting the treatment from smaller corpos when at least to date she'd be just as SOL post holo
