All these rrats about Cover management playing some sort of 4D chess about collab restrictions isn't taking into account that it can really all be boiled down to the notoriety of Japanese middle-management inefficiency. You're supposed to ask for permission for everything and even if you do, it has to snake its way through all their "proper" channels and you'd be lucky to hear back a "Yes" in a month.
I think this varies depending on the game dev/publisher. Not all permissions are the same and the added caveat of permissions for region-specific versions is a fucking mess to begin with. I believe Gura mentioned this in an older stream when a lot of people were telling her that JP got permissions from a certain dev/publisher and she responded that it doesn't necessarily translate to them on the EN side.
I think you're right about this. Japanese middle management is notorious about being slow and formal, and it's much less embarassing for them to say "this was delayed because we wanted to ask for permission", rather than "we did not ask for permission and now we have someone who is upset with us". Its not like any of the girls have to play any given game by a certain date, so I don't think they see waiting for permission as a significant negative. I don't doubt that Gura could legally play the game once JP permissions were given but Cover isn't going by the absolute legal standard, they want to keep the game companies happy.
She cheated, because asians cheat on tests. All jokes aside, universities are having serious problems with chinese students and cheating. I've heard stories of chinese applicants lying about holding degrees and fabricating letters of recommendation. The company that does the SAT/GRE exams (for those of you who don't know, these are exams for university admissions) used to also operate testing centers in mainland china, but even the teachers were in on the cheating so they stopped offering it.I wonder if Ina got good grades because she's Asian or because she wasn't allowed to play video games and was threatened when she got a C? Hmmm...
Exactly, I want to see things escalate to outright murder.Ah, a good ol' fashioned tontine.
