i'm fully aware that bushi has some games that are still running that REALLY shouldn't be i'm a revue starlight fan but i think the key difference here is that starira is from a franchise that bushi obviously loves like. revue starlight is their darling they love that damn franchise (not enough to insist that the devs for its game try to make something actually decent lmao but still) even if the dev team they got to handle kimisute has a lot of games that are hanging on by a thread at the end of the day bushi still needs to be there to give them the money and shit to continue publishing it and i'm just not convinced that they'll be as benevolent with argo underperforming as they are with revue underperforming. whether or not the game is actually turning a profit doesn't matter to these companies nine times out of ten because they want it to be making the MOST profit. saisuta was performing incredibly well (especially when you take into account how averse to monetization that game was by not having event ranking) but saisuta still got eos'd because bamco clearly wanted it to fail from the jump so they'd have an excuse to say that they tried but obviously sidem games just aren't worth the time or effort (despite never really putting in any effort to begin with) because they hate sidem. i just can't see any situation where what's going on with kimisute isn't literally just that again and it annoys me.
