Yup, the part about 40 billion yen within 3 years let me know immediately that they're just throwing out crazy big numbers to make retards believe they'll see a payday if they stick with the company. Maybe the studio part is true but I can't imagine Riku's stingy ass would willingly throw 2 billion yen at a studio that won't produce results for at least a year.
Press X to doubt Rikku would spend his money on investing an actual studio.
Nerissa was only the start
When the studio was mentioned I immediately just assumed that it meant a studio apartment for Riku to be able to admire the view of his playbuttons (safely transported by the way) when the yacht is undergoing repairs from the 2,434th attack this year. To be fair, this is also the only studio Niji would spend Yachtbucks on that would produce immediate results.
That's actually one of the funnier things about this whole affair to me. The people who freaked out about the mere existence of a clique essentially outed themselves as terminally online autists: v-tubing is an entertainment industry, built on connections and nepohires. Holo is no different. That isn't inherently a bad thing as long as people aren't being assholes for no reason. If Niji had decent tard-wrangling and a non-toxic work environment, the "niji-clique" would have benefited massively from working WITH Selen and using her connections in the gaming industry and Twitch to get collaborations and sponsorships.
You just described Zaion.
I think since Kiara reaches out to anyone and everyone she wouldnt be that compatible with that mindset,
Personally I always took the unwillingness of most Nijis to talk about other people/network with outside talent to be a company specific policy. Millie in particular has a lot of SEA connections from her time as Lyrica that she has just not gone back to as Millie. Pomu also dialed back on publicly interacting with a lot of her industry connections while in Niji, and has gotten back in touch with several people since leaving. And IIRC part of the in-company animosity towards Selen was that she was unwilling to jump through the retarded hoops Niji had towards exterior collabs, instead preferring to set them up herself.
It's even better when you consider the situation.
This is blown out of proportion, because, chances are, NBA itself is not even aware of this "sposnorship"
Yeah, but it is just another case in a long line of times they have chosen talents for these sponsorships with no real thought put into it, thus leading people to make favoritism accusations.
She said bounty hunter so kinda?
I'm trying to imagine how a clique would even form within Hololive at this point. Looking at everything that's happened, it seems pretty obvious that the Niji clique mostly came about because there was basically zero management oversight and the patients were left to run the asylum. Meanwhile, a lot of Holomems - even ones that don't seem to stick out that much like Kronii, Shiori, and Bijou - have dedicated managers/tard-wranglers to whom they give little nicknames.
I've never thought much about it but it would track with Anycolor's apparent soft-policy of eroding their livers' self-esteem and sense of agency. See, withholding play buttons, not investing in shit, killing entire branches, etc.
Holy shit, can you imagine? If I were Riku and saw a big Niji event do smaller numbers than a random Dokibird community Minecraft stream, I'd find the nearest highrise to throw myself off of.
If you were Riku you would be praying to god Kuzuha doesn't start talking about retirement. This is assuming he actually cares about the company, and doesn't just go "fuck it, I made enough money for the rest of my life, let it burn"
She will defeat Gura by stalking her
