Why not at least make them 3D statues you can put in your room or whatever so you can peep at their panties by moving the camera or something?

It's all about maximizing profit for the investors since they went public. You think it's bad now, just you wait. Oh also there will be more graduations next year, one in particular that most people won't expect

Ame graduates a second time

>>103709447
Hololive fans don't lose anything when members who hate Hololive stop leeching off the ones who contribute. The only possible losses in your list are people who effectively retired years ago but were very relevant in 2020 so they have nostalgic value but should have probably left then. Hololive was abnormal for never letting anyone graduate for so many years and it set up unrealistic standards.

>>103710989
Technically if affiliate status does have requirements, which it must since most don't want it, there will come a time when affiliates graduate.

Can you at least summon girls to help or this is still a shitty solo game?

>>103708485 (OP)

>>103709935
I care if they do concerts like Yamato Phantasia. That's about it

at least it's not gacha (I assume)?

>>103708485 (OP)
this is the funniest shit i've seen in a while. shitty little virtual plastic stands oh god holo earth is so bad.

Does HoloEarth have any gameplay that isn't a generic Rust clone with no Hololive branding yet?

>>103711123
What obvious damage control to say that vtubers are great entertainers when they work for Cover but are worthless leeches the second they quit. Did you even watch Ame, Fauna, Mumei, and Gura? The reason that so many EN fans are sad is because fans miss them and the creativity they brought to Hololive. No one expects Cover to behave like a charity but most, if not all, of the EN graduations could have been avoided. They refuse to compromise with their talents so more of them are leaving. The unrealistic standard is expecting fans to buy thousands of dollars of digital goods in HoloEarth, including virtual acrylic stands which sounds like something from a comedy skit, when the talent might vanish a year from now. Hololive is falling into the same arrogant mindset as Nijisanji because management believes the brand name alone is all the company needs.

>>103712597
Ame was a shitty and unfunny streamer her last two years on Holo. The other EN shitters were better but I don't care about them.
The only loss that I mourn is the Orca.

why won't they at least make my virtual acrylic an NFT?

Nobody actually cares about the opinions of you schizos, they reply to you as a courtesy in the hopes you can see reality for it is. You want people to be trapped in this one workplace forever, even if nobody else wants that. Why? Who does it benefit? You realize they are all humans who had previous workplaces, right? That they all abandoned friends that their fans liked them being around. That some of them have real lives they want to escape and others want to prioritize their real lives over the Internet. Hololive shouldn't have prevented anyone from graduating for so many years because it led to deranged schizos like you who thought "well as long as these people are members on paper, it's like time has never progressed at all!". The two terminations (despite the fact they involved the least popular and the most hated member) are far more of a blow to Hololive than all of the graduations combined. As long as you are allowed to still like the person and remember them, that's healthy and anything else is schizoid shit where these real people are your dolls that have to do exactly what you want forever.

You can't just being the ~le creativity meme and expect people to take you seriously.

How does she do it?

>>103713293
>You want people to be trapped in this one workplace forever, even if nobody else wants that.
No, I wanted Cover to compromise with them so they could have stayed in Hololive. Fauna and Mumei had obvious contract issues but they clearly would have liked to stay if things had worked out with management. Sana even made that clear in her final streams almost 3 years ago so this has been a huge flaw with Cover for years that has only grown worse.

>>103713293
>Hololive shouldn't have prevented anyone from graduating for so many years
That is damage control and they are having graduation waves because management has grown more arrogant. Yagoo is not a sexist villain laughing at women being forced to dance in skimpy outfits but he is a typical cold Japanese CEO. He barely cares about Hololive and his only concern for the EN branch is merch sales.

>>103713293
>where these real people are your dolls that have to do exactly what you want forever
Why do you think so many of them had those mysterious "health" and hiatus breaks? Shion went on a 7 month break and only after that did she make her indie vtuber account. I blame Cover since they could have done more and many of these talents reluctantly decided on graduation. I don't expect Hololive to be a charity but with this many graduations there is cause for skepticism.

>>103709935
There was a relatively decent (not big, though, low-4views) JP flesh streamer who said he was monitoring HoloEarth because apparently they give better cuts than YT. Guy was thinking about selling virtual merch through HoloEarth instead of taking donations on YT, but he was still just on the looking and planning stage

>>103712408
You can play poker now

I love fwmc but as a ruffian that owns multiple signed merchs from them I hope they never shill a virtual acrylic to me
That's actually disgusting. At least let me physically own the tariffed chinese plastic

it's not even plastic. it's pixels on a screen representing plastic.

No, you will get a non-transferable, revocable license to virtual plastic, and like it

>>103714879
For one, a few Holos (i.e: Matsuri) have said that Cover gives them great cuts on this so I can see how some fans might consider this a better alternative to sending SC if you only want to support your oshi.
As to the
>It's virtual part
May I point to the words of wise sage Aoi Yuuki when it comes to gacha in my picrel

>>103715005
>Food analogy
except you need food to survive you idiot, you do not need virtual shit to survive, food provided nutrients for your body to function, gacha shit provided a temporary increase in your dopamine levels at best.

>>103715222
and the dopamine boost is arguably unhealthy

>>103715222
So you admit that you eat the cheapest most efficient food possible every day of your life. It'd be easier to take you seriously if you started by evangelizing about that.

>>103714581
None of the breaks are mysterious to normal people, they are mysterious to you because you don't watch any of them. Most of the non-graduated members have had "health" and hiatus breaks.

>>103715222
You don't need good or delicious food to survive. The most basic home made food is enough (bread, rice, vegetable, etc.).
Unless you are one of the very rare ones who eat only the basic, the money you spent on "expensive" (relatively) ingredients, or eating out - be it a restaurant or a cafe / diner - is of little difference from spending on virtual merch (including gacha). If anything, virtual merch lasts at least months or years, while good food lasts only up to 72 hours before you fully digest everything.

>>103716622
NTA, but isn't that just to test the watch party area? It's not a live in that case (they announced that they just implemented the watch party area yesterday)

What about da bois?

Who?

A new feature has been added that allows users to create and accept quests themselves. It seems that clearing quests from Hololive talents will reward players with special items.

Talents with models implemented for Holoearth will now have voice chat functionality, along with face tracking and motion tracking capabilities.

A co-viewing area is being added. Also, during the “Fubuki Advent Festival” on August 28, there will be a viewing test for the Yamato Fantasia Live.

Athletic building materials are being introduced, enabling construction with a certain degree of action-based gameplay.

Many other updates are also included.

>>103719055
so the acrylic stands are just quest rewards?
that's way better
also
>Talents with models implemented for Holoearth will now have voice chat functionality, along with face tracking and motion tracking capabilities
very cool

>>103716382
Huh? Can't live without food.

Honestly, falling in the rabbit hole saved me over 10k per year that I'd normally spend on Gacha on phone games and MMOs. Thankful for that. Nowhere close to buying merch. Since I don't build shrines, most of my oshi's merch is unopened in a full closet.
Alas, she graduated, but thankful not dragged into another gacha game. Was looking forward to HoloEarth for her in it. No more.

>>103715779
>None of the breaks are mysterious
Calling them mysterious was meant to be ironic. A 7 month "health" break followed by her RM creating an indie vtuber account and than graduating from Hololive would make sense if they were failed contract negotiations. Shion was actually one of the best examples of someone leaving Hololive because they hated their vtuber design. Sana would be the second best example and she began fighting with management by her second month. Cover in early years could hide contract disputes but in 2024/2025 they became far too numerous.

>Most of the non-graduated members have had "health" and hiatus breaks.
Having constant "health" breaks, or completely vanishing for months, is suspicious for a vtuber. If the negotiations go well the contract disputes can be settled (Ina and Laplus) but in other cases they end with graduation (Sana, Gura, Ame, Aqua, Chloe, Shion, etc).

>hololive talent acrylic stands will be added as furniture items.
>Decorate your room with life-sized acrylic stands of your oshi!
>Acrylic Stand M / L can be purchased from the HoloPhone Shop (H key).
>Acrylic Stand S can be exchanged using HoloIncentives via Projection at the ProtectCube.

>>103716622
This time instead of watching the concert in full 3D (aka the one compelling use for Holoearth), you'll get to watch a video of it played on a virtual projector screen

>>103724363
that reminds me of when they played the concert on a screen in an empty room and then recorded the screen and streamed it to people with the audio also being a recording of the room

2nd Fes: Beyond the Stage

I still don't get why people want to put a single cent into this game or even play it. You could just buy normal merch instead and you at least get something tangible

>>103713041
that was probably the original plan until they realized everyone hates NFTs

>>103710397
watch it still have tariffs applied

>>103722737
None of that follows at all outfitschizo. You literally require every break to be a huge conspiracy and when they nothing dramatic happens, it's because there was actually a gigantic invisible batle between good and evil that was taking place and evil just won those rounds.

>>103711416
you get a limited time 10% off discount if you switch oshis to another holomem

>>103722737
Marine and Noel have both had health breaks.
Do they hate their designs? Do they hate being "coombait"?

>>103727006
>None of that follows at all outfitschizo. You literally require every break to be a huge conspiracy
That is a strawman and never said that every health break is heated contract negotiations but it's highly suspicious when talents have an increasing number of health breaks and/or they completely vanish for months. If the talent than makes a graduation announcement over management disagreements than there is a really good chance they had nothing to do with health. That is especially true when several months later they debut as indie vtubers.

>>103729147
>Do they hate their designs? Do they hate being "coombait"?
Shion, Flare, Ina, Sana, Kronii, and Kaela were the Hololive talents that got stuck with sexualized designs they hated. Obviously though what causes a graduation will vary depending on the specific talent. Mumei talked about how much she loved her default outfit and cloak only a few days before her graduation.

>>103729147
Are there any Holos that have not had hiatuses or health breaks, surely they are rarer. I can't think of any without guessing about members I don't follow at all. Maybe Fubuki has never had a break? I guess Pekora probably hasn't.

>>103730609
>if outcome I wants happens, that proves i was right about the break
>if outcome I don't want happens, that proves i will one day be right about the break
It is not a strawman, you are legitimately insane.

>>103708485 (OP)
Can you do anything OTHER than buy and look at virtual merch? Why not just BUY REAL MERCH?

>>103708485 (OP)
Based. I love Holoearth!

>>103730695
Anon you are running damage control for a 700+ employee company. I never said that every Hololive health break is due to contract fights. What I am saying is that for some talents they have every indication of that and your Reddit tier response is to say it's a conspiracy theory since it hasn't been confimed by Cover.

>>103732025
None of your wild conspiracies have been confirmed by anyone, least of all the talents whose corpses you hoist up as flags that you think others will rally around.

Hololive wins again!

>>103731927
shipping and tariffs

>>103732269
>None of your wild conspiracies have been confirmed by anyone
Cover isn't going to confirm that talents are leaving Hololive over contract disputes since that would only damage the brand name. That is especially true for someone like Shion that had the worst pedobait design in Hololive and even in Japan denying her a model redesign would look bad for the company. Cover has obvious financial motivations for keeping their fights a secret and why they are reluctant to lose sleazy designs because they want to sell coombait merch.
