Unfortunately this is likely the case. The only way I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt is if Phase's event doesn't have another "technical error" the exact moment Pippa's on the stream, again. And if streamers like Kirche are allowed to be on panels.
The only way to make OffKai trustworthy is to [fedpost redacted] everyone on staff and have a team of new blood revive it.
I will note I have seen Lysander appear several times randomly in Pippa's chat in streams completely unrelated to cons. Probably an interesting datapoint.
The way things keep going with this situation I expect nothing to ever happen to patch it over completely nor anything to spark an event out of it, so I think “technical problems” might be avoided this time, if not without internal forces still attempting to make it so. Just enough to bubble, never enough to boil over.
And this is why you guys are still the best at what you do.Mostly the NA scene and maybe the EU scene. Here in LATAM we still kill pedos, everyone is allowed to be racist and court women respectfully. The Strive Estrogen wave did hit us but we just ignore them.
Honestly, without even considering the outcome of the con, if I was a talent, I would bring my grievances to Fishman and make him act to do something.
Yet another reason that fast food is automating more and more jobs.
I agree with this, and I think repeatedly exposing the talents to this kind of working environment is a failure on the fish's part.
You mean the zoomers don't deserve $15 an hour to grunt at you and stare at their phones?
All the details regarding that Pippa and Tenma 3D at last Offkai were very sketchy. Now we have evidence of someone involved in AV explicitly seething about those two. Any Phase performance that has technical issues this year is automatically going to be labeled as sabotage now and all the Phasefags are going to be livid.
We're already past the point where I'd rather just cook my own meals as it's cheaper and at least I only have myself to blame if it's done wrong. They can have their $15/hr when I get my $100/hr, if we're going to hyperinflate might as well do it across the board.
Not just a guest but invited to oversee their commentary panels and selection. What a mess.
Damn, that's rough. Only people left in the Discord are the ones that wouldn't normally start shit.
When it comes to Events you have to rent out the space and the cost depends on a few factors. How much of the space you will use, how many days/hours the event will run for and the place/location. For events several venues can be rented including Hotels (they often have Convention and Conference Rooms), Convention Centers, Sports Venues, Other Event Venues). One of those fancy convention centers in those big cities will run you anywhere from 100-500k a day depending on how big the rooms are.

Im sure him overseeing and picking who gets a panel and who doesnt wont totally backfire.Not just a guest but invited to oversee their commentary panels and selection. What a mess.
Outperforming (tons of earnings) ALWAYS leads to them wanting to keep the status quo. "We are big enough that now Hololive and Nijisanji will want to come to us and do their events in our convention. We dont have to deal with literal garbage nazis like Phase.
Panel with NyaraVT screeching about kids and troons.Damn, that's rough. Only people left in the Discord are the ones that wouldn't normally start shit.

When it comes to events the main ways sponsors help out is by one of the following:
1. Equipment. Some companies will sponsor events by lending/loaning equipment like TVs, Projectors, Laptops and whatnot. Often companies like Microsoft and Sony do this.
2. Resources. They will donate the food, man power or security.
3. Money. For the organizers to dump into whatever is needed (more often than not it goes towards paying part of the rent or paying payroll)
4. Media coverage
5. Booths. The very large booths are often reserved to the big sponsors in a convention and renting the area/space will cost a good chunk of cash.
The convention organizers get money back by the ticket sales but most importantly they get their money back by renting parts of the convention to exhibitors/sponsors/artists. Some of these conventions a small table can cost $1000. This is why convention merch is extremely expensive sometimes because the sellers need to make enough money to pay back the table/space rental fee. More often than not people in these conventions operate with monetary loses but they get to promote their store to a big enough audience that eventually they can get that money back simply by the exposure.
The bigger booth areas that are often 20x20, 30x30 or even 50x50 can go into the 30ks 40ks, 50ks and 60ks. Usually the biggest sponsors get the biggest booths and they end up paying for a good part of the rent.
The booth prices are often fairly standard but the organizers are the ones that end up deciding how high or how low the prices are. Too high and no one will want to rent out the space. Too low and they wont make a profit.

One of these days I'd like to see a study on what happened with fighting games. We went from the apex of Video Games Street Fighter 2 (which was essentially the Fortnite of it's time but was more successful in establishing an entire genre, where Fortnite exists only to provide more Fortnite) to now where most of the franchises are either dead or lame corpses of what they use to be. Give me back the days of DOA, Virtua Fighter and non lame variants of Mortal Kombat and Guilty GearDamn, that's rough. Only people left in the Discord are the ones that wouldn't normally start shit.

Last year Phase had one of the 3 big booths and they also had the main atrium area of the hotel where they were selling coffee and whatnot
