My theory is that when you launch a game and it instantly becomes popular, let your fanbase post clips of it on YouTube or whatever. You see, this is how they lose money and their fanbase because they're literally making you money by advertising the game; that's how it gets popular.
"3rd party clips" - no, just no. It's clips in general. Normally I would expect this type of behavior from music artists who created songs and don't want you to use them without their permission (which is fine). But from a video game company? Man hell no. Yeah, they're going to have to bite the bullet on this one since their fanbase is boycotting now. Now they have to write a public apology and make the game available on stream to recover from this mess.
They really shot themselves in the foot, cause Hololive has a massive reach. Tens of thousands, most likely hundreds of thousands of people bought it because of all the streamers in Hololive (and VTubers in general) playing it. And now that many of them are boycotting Suika, the damage has already been done. They moved on to a fan-made Suika. If KayAnimate (the developers of HoloCure) implements it into their own game, that'll be the final nail in the coffin. Because they are highly praised within their community, and they would have a Steam release.
