>It helps with investorsNo, investors still see they merged branches which still looks bad.>It's better for brand recognitionNo, it's worse. What are fans supposed to do with the millions of HoloEN merch and banners they bring to events that says EN on them? What are they going to do with all the ads and signs with the old logo? They will have to scrap them.>It's easier for perms/logistics/managementNo it's harder. There are now less resources and more girls competing for those resources. It's all worse and it makes 0 sense.
>>114669061its like Sharia law on vtubers or something, welcome to politics, its like fascism or something
>>114669097makes more sense than everything else I've heard
EN and ID are dying and that's a good thing for vtubing because EN and ID suck.
>>114669061>"disrespected">"undervalued"dance all you want corpobaby
>>114669128so they killed EN to spite Mori?!well I guess that makes sense. I too would pull a move like this if I had millions of dollars and no shits left to give
according to Holo antis nlw they are required to give weekly fellatio service to JP shareholders or something
It's cost-cutting to pump up the share price.
>>114669183then why does holostars still exist? they could have actually cut it in the midst of all the other announcements today if they truly wanted to cut costs. like announce its closure and set grad dates
>>114669061It's makes higher ups feel like they did something
>>114669061I think cover saw what was on the horizon, and I mean globally, and saw that it isn't good just like any halfwit that can sense that shit in the air right now since it's fucking palpable. And so they're consolidating in order to better weather the incoming shitstorms.
>>114669061Could be there was management friction between branches, HoloEN and HoloID might have had their own ideas and priorities that didn't sit well with JP. Eliminating the branches effectively ends this. Talent (and to a lesser degree fans) are caught in the middle.
>>114669061It is better for brand recognition, especially now that Hololive dreams is a thing
it makes no sense to have specific branches overseas when vtubing as a whole is dying
>>114669120thank you
>>114669356that's the opposite, vtubers and other streamers will be needed to pacify the jobless mobs into accepting the life of living in a pod and owning nothing. especially the average man who can't get a date and could cause trouble.>>114669361what ideas and priorities does EN and ID have that conflict with JP
>>114669170So anti hate will never compare to the hate that the Hololive Corp/cover corp will have against their own talents? Based?
>>114669516>that's the opposite, vtubers and other streamers will be needed to pacify the jobless mobs into accepting the life of living in a pod and owning nothing. especially the average man who can't get a date and could cause trouble.The average western man is gonna get priced out of simpery pretty soon. I think the situation with the indo males
>>114669253They are yagoo's personal pet project.
>>114669061how about you think for yourself stupid nigger
>>114669061investors care about profit margins. This is obviously a cost cutting measure
>>114669573... is self explanatory.Cover isn't run by blackrock and the usual tribe, yet. If they were then what you say would actually come to pass and they'd get subsidies from the usual suspects.
>>114669402Vtubing becoming global was COVID meme anyway
>>114669633An Indian CEO would run it better desu.
>>114669253They basically don't exist.
>>114669573they will be subsidized by the state. government mandated girlfriends (virtual, shared communal, no you can't touch)
>>114669683ok lets not go that far saar. if indians ran holo you'd see holofest breaking all the time and models glitching out
>>114669633But the new logo is slanted blue star of david tho
>>114669388Hololive Dreams which separates all the girls into "Hololive, Hololive Indonesia, Hololive English, and Dev_Is". Guess they need to update the brand new game to remove all those logos.
>>114669816literally 30 seconds on claude to remove the logo and bundle everyone together. that's a non-issue.
>>114669816yeah and they have to trash a bunch of merch in the warehouse, banners, etc that have the old logos and dead branches. unnecessary logistics measure that costs money and time for nothing
>>114669859claude cannot remove banners that are stored in a warehouse or merch that has already been printed out
>>114669061No one can say you stole an event or a spot from a real member of the local branch if branches don't exist. You also can't have the smaller branches compared to smaller companies or indies. Nothing stopping them from switching sides either if there are no sides.
>>114669763They'll get free support from Google.
>>114669061>No, investors still see they merged branches which still looks bad.Yagoo will just present it as "a cost-savings measure to maximize profits", "allows for unified marketing to promote regional talents into new markets", and other corpo buzzwords.
>>114669906they can just stop production and keep selling it until it's all sold out. not a big deal.
>>114669993the official youtube twitter account retweeted idolEN back in the old days and had some scripted conversaiont with them in the replies section so I could see that happen if holo sells out fully>>114669973there are still sides. just that the sides are underground now like how a religion persecuted just goes underground
>>114670143I'm not saying it's actually ambiguous in reality, but rhetorically it's a lot more difficult for people to talk about. And that's good because people won't be able to resist change as easily, so they don't have to be as afraid of upsetting fans or causing dumb rumors.
>>114669061It means people will stop asking for EN 5 because there will never be another EN gen.
>>114669061I don't think investors look too closely at the details. I think it does help fool investors.
>>114669516That's the government's problem, not hololive's, and the government is not giving hololive free money to do that. Hololive is trying to weather the economic chaos by being as lean and flexible as it can.
>>114669356two more weeks/months/years/centuriesyou fucking retard nothing ever happens besides the middle east eating bombs.
>>114670440you don't get it. skinnypenis67 on youtube said that the west will fall in 6 months, and he's said so every single day for the past 25 years.this means I should rotmaxx and do nothing because it will all end anyways
>>114669061>EN and ID management cut with girls being assigned English speaking JP managers>no need to worry about expanding 3 branches anymore, 1 new gen every 1-2 years will placate the massesIt's all to cut costs, vtubing as a whole is in a slow decline so they need to tighten the belt a bit since they have investors to please
>>114669061Niggas will type this out and then go back to not watching any streams anyway
>>114669061>Can I get a take on the Holomerge that's not absolutely retardedSure.It means literally fucking nothing. Not a damn thing. Streams will continue being in whatever language a vtuber is most comfortable with and nobody will tell their whole fanbase to fuck off by changing the language of their streams. The talents who never raped you with occasional moonrune tweets won't even start doing that either.
>>114669061It's retarded for fans because the lack of categorization will confuse normalfags looking in. >Oh hey, I'll finally try this hololive thing. This girl looks cute. >Oh she speaks Japanese. Nevermind.>What about this girl? Oh also Japanese. >Screw it, what's on Netflix?
>>114669061My favorite take is the>noooo there is less resources for the en girls we need to support themand then two seconds later the same person says>GRRRRR I NEED MORE AND MORE EN GENS
>>114669061There is one other options, people make retarded choices and management did just that
>>114670667>English speaking JP managersYou're quite optimistic
>>114669061You're the retarded one, so stop trying to mind-read investors. Everything is getting more and more expensive and Japan isn't doing so hot economically. Them tightening their belt is logical considering how fat they'd grown.>There are now less resources and more girls competing for those resources.You know nothing of how they've been reorganizing or plan to. They'll likely have to deal with less resources, but the merge is a symptom, not a cause.
>>114669061>No, it's worse. What are fans supposed to do with the millions of HoloEN merch and banners they bring to events that says EN on them? What are they going to do with all the ads and signs with the old logo? They will have to scrap them.Unless their oshi literally graduates, why in the world do you think this would slow down paypigs?
>>114669516>what ideas and priorities does EN and ID have that conflict with JPContent questions and company projects probably. As well as the purpose of the branches, and treatment of talent
>>114669516>what ideas and priorities does EN and ID have that conflict with JPperms
>>114669175so Fuwamoco activities
>>114669061Fans dont have any insight and arent jp so its easy to vaguely blame nameless entities like investors and "going public"
where did the gacha money go
>>114671814investors wallets
>>114671797Found the shareholder
>>114669061EN and ID are becoming Japanese./hlg/ and /hlgg/ can finally remerge.
>>1146691273pbp
>>114671269>logicalthey're still supporting holostars when any company in any industry would have canned them by now
>>114671486what projects. they just stream and do music concerts and occasionally accept sponsors. there are no projects anymore
>>114669061EN was a mistake, they are correcting that.Back to Hololive's golden era!
>>114669170Worst. There are signs Cover was doing this shit early enough to spite Gura on her way out. >killed Fauna and Mumei's dungeon in EN Reco while Mumei was still around>all the graduated talents after A-chan were Gura's close friends, Gura's oshi or a part of Gura's unit group of SNOT or Umisea>only stopped when Gura left with the graduations slowing down>killing the Minecraft EN and ID servers as Gura was leaving>killed off Gura's other original song
>>114669516>implying the one pic of new logo is real. haven't/wont confirm, the new owners yearn to cause discord and chaos.>the melon posting seethe has hit all time highs on /biz/>picrel dead nuts center lol lmao
>>114669061If you want an incredibly retarded take, some people are saying this is a good thing politically to get the ENs out of American jurisdiction and into Japanese procedures. There's this idea going around that Japanese labor laws are somehow better than western ones.
>>114669061homos got put in the banishment room and a combination of those who had the biggest ambitions and those who were the lowest performers quit. only ones left are the ones happy to coast along being mid tier and just surviving. in NUhololive the lowest performers will be left to starve until they quit, the mid tier Literally Just A Streamer will have no changes, and the highest performers will continue to eat up all the best resources for financial returns
>>114669061It's simply cutting down the cost. Happen a lot when corpo get desperate. Cover wasted too much money on shitty game, and the gacha made them realize more money spend on game mean less money spend on merch. That mean the majority of gacha players are holofan, they don't have new fans from the gacha
>>114669061It's better for marketing to present it as one brand vs four or five barely separate one. It also shows how desperately the EN runts cling to the early days of Myth, of "EN is its own thing" in their mind when EN has been riding the coattails of Hololive first and foremost while pretending it's their red carpet.EN also failed to leave any impact in the easiest to conquer market, EU, by only bringing too little too late. So cutting losses, reducing their pretended independence and getting them more in line with the company plans and image is overall beneficial to the company.Ideally, they'll cull unnecessary parallel structures that exist internally, but that would mean cutting a lot of incompetent staff and those are either nepohires or Japanese.
>>114669061it helps market things easier to brands that pay for ads essentially
