@Jambalaya Cover would have also had to come to an agreement on residuals around music and YT revenue. That's likely why it got delayed so long.
I did just realize that Hololive has lost members for either directly Menhara reasons or secondary life issues, while Holostars seems to lose members on contractual issues given the opportunity cost of being with Cover. Hey, it's almost like stereotypes are oddly predictive!
Also, while he might still end up dying from exposure while hiding in a tree in the future, Vesper is probably better off this way. Sucks to lose that new model (and for Pako), but it seems pretty clear the man is not built for corporate life. Most of his stories should have given that away a long time ago, but being uncensored now makes it really clear.
