For holos it's the "permissions dictate what games are new for us" phenomenom, for the others it's the "discount hololive" phenomenom.

>>6804400

>>6804400
they're all playing games they think are trending except they never are outside of the bubble.

>>6804400
Riding a trend, Anon. You didn't need to make an entire fucking thread about this.

Earliest ever is Mirai Akari in 2018. Earliest hololive is Fubuki in 2019 (privated due to holocaust). Earliest this year is HonHima, 3 days before Korone played it.

work on your writing prompts, anon

Gura made it popular

Permissions + riding the wave. Essentially of you play the same game everyone else is playing you'll get recommended to people who watch other chuubas who played that game.

This is why Minecraft is such a buff game.

>Minecraft is such a buff game
Minecraft is your "unlimited content" game, even though Minecraft also becomes your "same old shit" type of game. Just look at Hermitcraft.

>>6804979
Makes sense. She got a couple games trending already.

My oshi is different. She plays what she wants

The "we really do want higher numbers lmao fuck anti-numbersfags" phenomenon.

>>6804510
It’s called Cover is too cheap to get permission for more games

>>6804400
Mix of permissions and FOMO.

>>6804400
What I would really like they do with trends, specially with Holos is if they used a YouTube # for the game for easy access to other members runs.
For example #HololiveOneHandClapping
I would even take individual # for their runs, but most barely use them.

>>6805487
amelia is incredibly based.

>>6804400
Cover and their "we finally acquired rights from this company but we're only going to play this one fucking game from them" meme.
Exceptions everywhere apply though, such as those Chilla's Art kusoge horror games which are a fad among all vTubers.

>>6804400
It's the ARK phenomenon

>>6804979
How? Didn't Korone play it first then it spread out?

>>6804400
Excluding Holo members, since they're all part of the same company, everyone else is trying to get into the Hololive algorithm.

>>6804400
bitches being lazy

>>6806577
That guy's games suck penis. I respect him for making it out like he has though, his shit is quintessential streamer bait. I wonder if any of them actually think it's scary or if they're just waiting for the jumpscares so they can put on their best scream for the compilation.

>>6805487
Amelia week one
>Fuck Minecraft! All my homies hate Minecraft!
Amelia week two
>I-I guess Minecraft's okay, I didn't mean anything when I told my senpais their favorite game is autistic dog shit, heheheh...
Your oshi is a spineless nobody.

Korone played it first

It's called Flavor of the Month. It's for the lazy when they have nothing else to go with. FOTM is good though because it means I can skip a bunch of videos and catch up. I only watch certain games from certain tubers depending on how they act e.g. A botan and Lamy horror stream will always be top priority. I wont even bother watching someone else play horror. If the game has bugs I know Suisei and Korone might be worth watching because they freak out over them. Even in FF9 korone was wincing at the transport beetles.

Know your chuubas anon.

>>6807021
It's called trying a game and enjoying it. She's also verbatim called it "a piece of shit game," since then.

>>6807060
>botan and Lamy horror stream will always be top priority. I wont even bother watching someone else play horror.
What makes Botan and Lamy horror streams different from everyone else for you?

>>6806577
Chilla sharts paid to shove their garbage down our throats

>>6804893
>Privated due to holocaust
What happened back there? Can anybody explain?

>>6807108
You get the joy of someone competent playing the game while all the pleasure of someone terrified at the slightest thing in one video. And then Botan proceeds to laugh at Lamy for being scared at shadows.

>>6807108
Dunno about Lammy but Botan generally doesn't get scared and has like military grade reaction skills during jumpecares.

Back in August 2020, Mio channel got a strike by Capcom, one more would mean permanently deleting her channel. From there, they realized it was safer for them to ask for permission before playing a game. So they privatized all videos on every channels (except Subaru who got all her videos deleted due to her manager incompetence).

>>6805487
My oshi can play whatever she wants now without need to get permissions.

Though I know for sure shes going to squander it and play Ark, terraria, and minecraft.
