So I heard that the holocure dev was approached by cover to negotiate the monetization of his game but he refused for personal reasons.
Does that mean that anyone could make a holo game and reach a deal with cover? Like a partnership or just by paying some loyalties? If it's just loyalties it sounds like a win-win deal, the devs get the holo buff and cover gets money for free + free advertisement. Does anyone know anything else about this alleged deal?

The game belongs in a museum, anonchama. They want to monetize it because it's an actual good game, but Kay Yu has a spine and wants to keep it free. He gets enough free recognition as it is for creating the best vampire survivors clone which is quickly transforming into its own thing. Shoving a bunch of microtransactions would turn it into a soulless husk of a game and have it end up being another mixed review or very poor rated game on steam.

kek. it's not some one man army game. it's led by kay but monetization would mean he'd have to track down every single contributors to the game and negotiate a rev share deal, which is a huge headache and could even possibly backfire if someone spergs out how they were given an unfair cut, etc.

Notice how none of the graduated/terminated talents are ever brought up in gen merch?
It's because there's weird IP shit attached to gens, IP and the artists that created them.

If cover were to allow holocure to be monetized, they'd have to ask for those talents to not be in the game otherwise they would have legal issues/have to pay money to the old artists of these girls.

>> No.56789385

>>56779294
It would have to be a very fucking high quality game is the problem. And a big part of why he would have probably wanted to refuse is Cover exercising some degree of control over the game if they became involved in it. For example, no Rushia references, and she would probably be cut from Gen 3 when they add it

It mostly is, actually. He talked about it recently, but he does the majority of the code and art work himself. He also already pays for stuff he can't /doesn't do out of pocket as commissions, so revs hate wouldn't really be a thing. Most likely he just wants the freedom to keep making the game the way he wants, and doesn't want it to become another job.

They're all just meme references and sprites that are somewhat resembling of the real deal. Impossible to sue.

People asking for Kay Yu to monetize this game are actually blind and stupid. It's released under the derivative works guidelines and the second point mentions no for-profit work:
https://hololivepro.com/en/terms/

He'd HAVE to make a deal with Cover directly for monetization, at which point it's no longer under these guidelines and subject to Cover's scrutiny.
