General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

Not to derail too much, but I think people underestimate just how much Konami would cost. They literally own entire casinos (or the retarded Diet Gambling variants), have their hands in all sorts of hardware, have the rights to Yu-Gi-Oh! and produce other TCGs. They'd cost a fortune.
SEGA, too, has companies under its umbrella like RGG and ATLUS, owns arcades and creates arcade hardware on a global scale, they have movie productions in their IPs. You have to factor in all these things when outright acquiring a company. Bungie is successful at creating software so the transaction is smoother and (probably) less expensive.
That doesn't mean I don't want Konami to relinquish Suikoden, though. Someone please buy that.

Sony could have bought Sega, Capcom, or Square with the same amount of money they bought with Bungie with. Maybe Konami.
But, this is the V-Tuber thread so I'll get back on topic.
We've seen Sega make Sonic a V-Tuber, but which video game companies do you see might hire V-Tubers to play their games on the official channels?
I mean if Crunchyroll (now owned by Sony, under Funimation's branch) can get a V-Tuber, it's not far-fetched that it's out of the realm of possibilities.

I might be talking out of my ass, but I think Cover lost all permissions to Konami games after the Holo-caust, which is why Pekora's legendary MGS streams are all gone. A lot of JP companies simply will not play ball with them anymore. Bandai Namco is another one.

They never had the permissions in the first place. Before the Holo-caust they just streamed whatever and didn't care about copyright, which is how they had MGS streams, but now they need to get permission, and Japanese publishers are autistic.

Not exactly they gave them permits to play the new bomberman games for a couple of streams but they did not gave them blanket permits like Niji that can sperg on Yu gi oh master duel and metal gear with impunity, really a Hololive yu gi oh tournament would be the tits (better that fucking mario kart)

Maybe Microsoft will buy them both just to dab on Sony more lol

You joke but Microsoft CAN do it just to get those sweet IP they are holding, imagine Xboxers dabbing on Sony when they get new Silent Hill, because that is why they are doing this, people forget but activision has a fucking huge library of IP that they decided to not touch it because shitting call of duties every year was more safe, and the other divisions they can just sell that shit

Ofc I'm "what not to do for Opsec" because I don't care about Opsec (at least when it comes to usernames), lol. I just have different priorities and cares to you, that's all.
Like how Fauna was worried about that first name leak of her very common first name vs Calli not even caring about showing her face. Neither of them are wrong, they just have different cares.

Remember, those companies also have to be willing to sell.
Even if Sony offered boatloads of cash some of those companies still wouldn't sell to maintain creative independence or they think they'll be just fine anyway. If Monster Hunter, RE, and DMC weren't such hits in the last few years then I'd see Capcom selling.

Be careful Tako or the Redditor known as u/NolanCrush will report you to r/DEMONDICE or r/hololive.

What? I feel like if I’m here my stance on such actions should be obvious but umm, moralfagging is dumb, deplatforming is cringe. And I think even nazis should be allowed on Twitter provided they aren’t directly threatening violence.

I'm joking man. lol. FFS.

Oh lol. Well I wasn't sure if you actually believed I was that kind of person. Thought the joke here was shitting on me basically saying that I'd do something like that (ie: I'm pathetic). Since we don't know each other much. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

There's a fair chance EN/ID are in the first 30 minutes similar to how Gen 4 were when they had just got their models, which is usually the free on YouTube part. Would make sense to do it the same way especially since they're all remote. Gen 4 were all on stage for introductions both days but performances were split if I'm remembering right.

EDIT: After checking SPWN they are actually split over the 2 days damn. Guess they're not doing the Gen4 thing. SPWN link

I was expecting cardboard pre-recorded so I'll take it.

So I guess the only chance for free part is if they do something different and have a free part for both days. Feels like it might be shitty not to, given how long people have waited for these.

Btw i'm really worried about Uto. Her last tweet was about fever. And that was almost a month ago. Last year she also disappeared, but there was a known reason.

Getting concerned myself.

Perhaps she's been sick and busy. This art from new Utopia indicates possibly the former.
