I don't remember this story. Who was it and what was the game?
It was Oga and the game was NKODICE. The vod is privated though. This reddit post however talks about it.
reddit.com
Yep, I was there when the entire thing happened so here's what I can remember from it:
- When NKODICE had its popularity boom, few of holostars expresses wanting to play it (because boys haha jorks) but management says no for an obvious reason (lol)
- Oga who was also in the middle of his own rpgmaker game project (the horror-ish game using yagoo's photo assets) quickly whip out a parody game that simulates the experience of playing NKODICE, without the element that might get him in trouble. As the reddit thread stated he literally spent 3 days just to make the parody game
- IIRC he began streaming the game at late-night, somehow still garnering massive attention and trending topic but most of the comments are positive remarks toward his creativity
- original dev saw the stream, made several passive-aggressive tweets about people who "copy" his game without permission (noted that NKODICE itself was modeled after a pre-existing game as well, it's literally a fucking dice game)
- people took notice of the tweets, and the impression was mixed from hereon but shortly after Cover allegedly reached out to said dev he quickly retracts his tweets and went "well ok we had a talk its coolio now"
- days after, cover made a public apology tweet about the "commotion" and Oga practically disappear for a month without an initial tweet from him
tl;dr entitled gamedev sperg on twitter because he's salty about not being unique when his own game isn't even 100% original
Btw this is what the game looks like and yes he drew most of the assets
From what I remember, if someone was suspended in Hololive, Cover would just say that outright. Nijisanji is the exact opposite.
I think so long as someone like Kataribe Tsumugu is still considered part of Niji any sudden disappearance happens there won't be talked about as much
