@6gn0bywn @LatinBoiMuzikk @benardonhard @mjarbo Jurassic World sold more tickets than Jurassic Park. The Dark Knight Rises sold more than The Dark Knight. Star Wars: The Force Awakens sold more than The Empire Strikes Back. The Lion King live-action sold more than the 1994 original. Your logic is so dumb.

@6gn0bywn @LatinBoiMuzikk @benardonhard @mjarbo Broski, literal slop would've sold more tickets than Superman (2025) back in the peak of cinemas pre-COVID. If we go by your logic, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and Fast & Furious 6 are masterpieces compared to Man of Steel.

@codmgemini @PopBase Not necessarily true, while they don't NEED to sell, the company remains in financial purgatory due to it's shrinking tv profits and massive debt that restricts its ability to take risks. The Big 3 can lose billions on a single bet and keep going, which WBD cannot afford to do.

@stevenphoenix36 @windydanchou For sure, I get where you are coming from. I just think it's money that Cover is leaving on the table, especially when male K-pop groups dominate. I think Cover should have studied those groups and tried to apply it to HoloStars. The female audience is definitely there.

[C @C_2451]

@stevenphoenix36 @windydanchou Even then, for context, a $20B industry, which is what the female-oriented market as a whole is projected to hit in 2026, is 82% of the entire global cinema box office.

[C @C_2451]

@stevenphoenix36 @windydanchou My point is that the money and potential are there and that it is a growing market that isn't hypersaturated like the male-oriented market. There is so much room for growth, and to essentially abandon that is leaving tons of money on the table.

[C @C_2451]

@SenorSmirnov @YeahSureWynaut @thirdson_s I mean I don't think luck really matters if the proper marketing is in place. The big two have the resources to create your own luck especially with continuous support. By The Beat debuted a little over a year ago and Zeal already ranks 40th with $120k in superchats in Japan.

[C @C_2451]

@stevenphoenix36 @windydanchou The female-oriented mobile market is currently valued at $7.35B and growing at 10% annually. Female fans now make up over 30% of FGO’s player base and are the primary 'whales' driving top-tier revenue. Again, to call the female audience "niche" is ignoring billions on the table.

@johnbradshaw32 Stay mad buddy

[C @C_2451]

@johnbradshaw32 Ok buddy, you're getting way too emotional over a branch you claim doesn't matter 😂

[C @C_2451]

@stevenphoenix36 @windydanchou Saying female audiences are a 'niche' is wild when Love and Deepspace made $750M+ last year and K-Pop boy groups carry the Oricon charts. The audience isn't the problem—the marketing was. Cover gave them 'tools' but kept them in a separate basement to protect 'idol purity'.

[C @C_2451]

@johnbradshaw32 The fact that you have to resort to personal insults because you can't actually counter my point with data just shows you lack the emotional intelligence to have an adult discussion. If you had a real rebuttal, you would've lead with that instead.

[C @C_2451]

@CunnyWholesaler @lostlilrabbit_ You don't understand a business because any business would've had it fully integrated from the getgo or just absorb smaller, "struggling" sub-brands into the main brand. Cover dug their own grave by not having the proper culture from the start to have mixed-gender interaction.

[C @C_2451]

@Lelelhuehue @lostlilrabbit_ Brother, all that proves is that Cover gave them tools, but it doesn't prove Cover gave them a seat at the table. ​By keeping them separate, Cover effectively "gifted" them a house but refused to build a road leading to it as opposed to Nijisanji.

[C @C_2451]

@MistrInsouciant @TimJZheng That's not necessarily true when you look at the broader landscape. Nijisanji has proven that there is a massive market for male VTubers with Luxiem, Noctyx, and recently with By The Beat. Indie Males also are thriving more than ever.

@Undergroun53211 @rpwbrowne @NextGenPlayer That only accounts for 2% of Playstation's revenue, it would need to be a lot more than just 2% for Sony to want to push out more games for PC & Xbox.
