@e_munti Terrible idea, just look at the HDI of Afghanistan throughout its modern history (even without counting war-stricken years) and see its an absolute shithole
@Animi_z@Gr3yves_R18@MorningPanda The thing is they weren't underperforming since they had gotten good at targeting their respective markets (and in ID's case, creating its own niche). But now they'll be forced to compete in a market with somewhat alien rules, norms, etc
@returns_o15484@Gr3yves_R18@MorningPanda Perhaps, and I hope that the merger has more good effects than bad. But I can't help but feel that a lot of the EN and ID talents are gonna be sidelined
I mean, Cover's apparently making a HLL anime and didn't even bother to add any EN or ID members nor ask them either
@Gr3yves_R18@MorningPanda Think of it like this: the EN and ID markets are very small compared to the JP market. Merging them into the JP market will mean the EN and ID hololive members will naturally underperform compared to the original JP members, which investors and shareholders might not like
