My pet rrat is that one of the investors got impatient and suddenly decided to pull their funds from the company before the end of the year. Might be threatening to take action/hold the company hostage otherwise. This would explain why basically everyone was caught off-guard.

If it was a change in management/acquisition the mood would have been very different and we would have seen PL activity way in advance of this. If it was purely because of poor financial performance, then it would make more sense to push through with the Christmas events since they would have made quite a bit of money.

I suppose things are going on behind-the-scenes, maybe the company is looking for a quick cash transfusion or working some legal chicanery. No choice but to wait and see.

Yeah this is my assumption as well, they must have lost an investor. Too much stuff planned for it to have been a normal company failure.

It also adds to the vibe that the girls seem genuinely confused about what's going to happen. The company seemed really good so far, so hopefully they can at least keep their stuff.

And that Investor that pulled out?

Yes you guessed it, Frank Stallone

Given several of them have already run off to alt accounts I'm guessing they can't, or the IP's in some kind of limbo right now. Unless they've had an impulsive overreaction which is still entirely possible, because, y'know, women.

I kind of wonder how new small corpos (Variance Project, Stellar Verse Productions) are feeling about almost all their predecessors dying. And dying fsster as time goes on.

I'm sure their management thinks "Yeah, but we're better than that!"

But so did everyone else. Other than Phase Connect and Vshojo, they all died. Okay, Idol was bought out, but that was just Aviel shifting the loss to Brave, while most of the top performers left.

Any money invested in a small EN corpo?

Basically gone.

I got a hit on my 'ask random people I know for info' dart-throwing. Not a direct source, but close and connected enough to be a solid insider perspective.

tl;dr:

Massive overspending, hugely in debt, no business plan aside from 'hopefully we get a Gura-level star'. No good news in at least the last year and a half. Some of the modellers and riggers for their crew cost 10k just for art, with rigging being in the same region.

Thanks for not vagueposting this time, genuinely

Damn. I'm too much of a committed phasefag to actually watch PL(way too many fucking chuubas to keep tabs on), but from the outside looking in, they seemed like a fun bunch.
Will be a shame if they're truly dead, because now the golden standard of a 2025 small vtuber agency will be, uh, VAllure.
