Can we talk about how one of the biggest vtubers literally scammed her fans out of $265k?Code miko advertised this as the next big thing for years and as a better VRChat replacement, got fully funded instantly and then dipped. Now she's just fleshposting on xitter and never mentions the project anymore. The delivery date is almost one year overdue with nothing released and dead communication on the kickstarter page. Last update was a year ago. Seems crazy to me that nobody has a problem with this and she's seemingly as popular as always.

Only retards that don't understand kickstarter have a problem with it
>>110183709Send this to Coffeezilla
Not a vtuber
>>110183709She’s not one of the biggest Vtubers and her fall off is legendary. She can only hope that the money she made from this scam last until her retirement
>>110183840no chance he would deal with a scam this small. Still really shitty to do on her part
>>110183709Kira (the youtuber) might be interested in doing a video on this. Let him know.
>>110183969265k is not small
>>110183981Good idea. I'll try contacting him. I used to be a fan years ago when she was doing cool tracking shit but I'd like to see her get called out for this someday.
>>110183709>she's seemingly as popular as always.The keyword here is seemingly. It's all bots by the way, as it always was. She had money behind her from the start and the 265k is funding the bots even more.
>>110183709I have yet to see a VTuber fan who considers this bitch a VTuberJust a different flavor of Twitch grifter bitch
>>110183962She has a lot of industry connections and is still considered the gold standard when it comes to impressive body tracking. I wouldn't really say she's fallen off, as far as her public image is concerned.
>>110184069Didn't she win a whole bunch of vtuber awards a while ago?
>>110184106>is still considered the gold standard when it comes to impressive body trackingI don't think Saruei and Giri's recent upgrades would've gotten the attention they did if that was the caseNobody's even looking at Miko these days
>>110184256Her mocap posts consistently get 1000s of likes, I wouldn't call that nobody
>>110184513>Her mocap posts consistently get 1000s of likesI'll have to take your word for it, I scrolled back a few weeks but all I can see are posts like this>https://x.com/codemiko/status/2031054847877984274/photo/1But hey, for just 40 bucks a month you can message her all you like! (I am 100% sure she is the one responding)
>>110184216She won best vtuber in the shitty twitch awards a couple times ages ago
once a whore, always a whorehttps://xcancel.com/codemiko/status/2031761758541729933
>>110183709Quickly checking on twitch it does look like there are people still fucking around with Mikoverse on twitch.https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2704135702It just still seems to be some sort of closed beta.
>>110185585One random person. There are exactly three videos tagged MikoVerse on twitch, ever. Not hating on miko or anything but if you do not give updates on your Kickstarter page and ignore your paying customers on there who are asking for updates, it's hard for me to see this as anything other than a scam.
>>110185752yeah, no I agree. The people did pay for it and they deserve more updates at the very minimum.I was just saying that it does seem to still be actively being worked on. I watched a little bit of the stream and that dude says Miko has been experimenting with adding additional trackable objects, so that you can stick a tracker onto something irl and have it be spawned as a weapon in-world. Who knows when Miko was working on this though, could just be a thing she experimented at one point long ago (I do not know, I do not follow this project).
Last watched in 2020 what the hell happened lol
Still possibly one of the ugliest fucking models around.The fact she got memed as the hottest new vtuber thing was hilarious.No amount of mocap could save a shitty model and an incredibly bland person.
>>110186084Its pretty telling how basically 0 other Vtubers with a such a westoid H game aesthetic ever got any level of success. Failed experiment
>>110183709you don't fleshtube and pole dance then say she got popular vtubing. her 3D model was never a buff due to uncanny teeth
>>110186529There are a few people who use realistic models, they're just not particularly popular on /vt/.
>>110184216Yeah so did that Peanut guy. At least Miko had a virtual avatar more complex than a snap chat filter but generally she's outside of vtuber culture, she's even questioned herself whether she counted as a vtuber. I would say yes technically, but not culturally. Like a Chinese person adopted at birth by white parents. They look Chinese, but that's really all.
>>110187358I don't think that's true. She definitely considers herself a vtuber, going by her twitter posts.
>>110183709Crazy
>>110183709>Kickstarter is a scamMany such cases. Pretty much every single one!
>>110183709lmao
>>110183709>and then dipped>nothing's been releasedholy schizo moment, Assman
