Their debut streams will be on November 17th and 18th PST! Be sure to cheer them on at #holoARMIS!
Oh boy, that was fast. Glad to see StarsEN regrow their numbers but judging from when they are active on twitter it doesn't look good for eurpean viewers
Europe is just left out to dry when it comes to ~~the big agencies~~ most things coming out of Japan. All we get are indies (not that that's particularly bad but it makes discovering talented VTubers a bit harder)
Edit: yup, debut times are perfect to shaft over Europe again, Cover why must you make us suffer so much
It's weird - seems like a pretty big viewerbase to (basically) ignore. I guess it does make collabs more challenging when there's 3 timezone groups to deal with, but that seems like a weak reason to leave so much on the table so there's gotta be something else there right?
What's even more is that it's a pretty wealthy viewerbase to ignore, west/central Europe has (well in recent times not as much) plenty of disposable income that Cover doesn't take full advantage of. Even with very simple things like shipping, I have plenty of hobby money but when the shipping costs are as much as the stuff I'm buying it does make me rethink the purchase.
Yeah, I never bought anything directly from Cover because of the shipping. When stuff like Pop-Up Figures or Weiß Schwarz packs come out I have no issue pulling out my wallet, but buying something where more than half the cost is shipping… is kind of a turnoff.
