Was Wuthering Waves Sabotaged by Hoyoverse?

weaing waves has taken over the United States Kuro games the developer for weaing waves is confident in its success interest has grown rapidly over the past few weeks as Kuro wraps up their marketing and advertising efforts prior to release Kuro has accomplish this in the gacha space despite losing many of its potential content creators to Hoya versus predatory preferred Creator contracts which legally do not allow them to create promotional material for weathering waves or any potential competitor to hoye games under the threat of fines up to $500,000 my name is sa tontis and I'm here to take you on a journey to find out what exactly curo has been going up against these past few years if you haven't already please hit that like And subscribe button in their most recent marketing Venture C games literally took over Times Square shining the spotlight on the entire roster while highlighting gameplay and cutcenes this isn't the only place where Kuro is bringing weaing waves to life Kuro is actually sending the two main characters or Rovers across the United States generating hype for the release through fantastic costume design cinematic photos and clever references to the game itself you don't commit to marketing like this unless you believe in your game and Kuro is making sure to address some of the doubts expressed by testers from the last closed beta tests focused on a lack of story Direction polish and and voice acting on the official weaing waves YouTube page you'll find character or resonator introductions and Voice work by the actors these showcases are long diving into the day-to-day lives of the resonators while also focusing on some of the key aspects of their gameplay the voice workor that we've seen so far is very high quality and fits the Thematic design of the characters well Gian of the midnight Rangers protecting our lands and people is my solemn Duty should you encounter any difficulties here I will do my utmost to help gingo patroller chisha you can always call on me if you ever find yourself in a pickle well if it isn't my loyal Patron what do you wish to inquire about today what's odd here is the delay between each resonator showcase understanding the public knowledge that localization has been working over time to finish production for weathering waves these delays make sense but also make curo games appear being competent as developers is it really their fault though looking at the roster it's quite strange that we're seeing so few names that were traditionally familiar with in the gacha and anime space big names like banana nicker Dean Mills and Caleb Yen are surprisingly absent despite previous involvement in many gacha titles one of those titles ironically enough includes punishing Gray Raven coincidence or not all of these big ticket vas are nowhere to be found this becomes even more questionable knowing that Skyler Davenport the voice actor for March 7th from hoyo versus turn-based strategy game honai Star Rail and also the voice of Bianca from punishing gry Raven was the original voice for yangyang in the earliest closed beta test in the current state of the game her VA is Rebecca yo Skyler Davenport is a talented actress that has historically delivered in her previous role with Kuro games why would Kuro games replace a tenur VA for their largest budget game with a VA that has only had one roll prior over 2 years ago how much dialogue had to be Rewritten to accommodate for new vas it's clear that something is going on behind the scenes were the delays in the English dub for the weaing wave CBT caused by even more anti- compete agreements by hoe behind the scenes with its VA contractors this is a disturbing disturbing Trend that hoyse is actively developing within the gacha space and video games as a whole the ability to deny resources and talent to your competitors through predatory employment agreements is dangerous will anime Publishers soon start taking inspiration from hoil versus practices and prevent English vas from dubbing an anime series that competes with one of their existing titles the main audience hurt at the end of the to day are the consumers antitrust is a thing for a reason weathering waves faces many struggles and obstacles in its marketing because of Hoover's morally questionable practices their success in monopolizing some of the most important aspects of a game's longevity and appeal should be a massive cause for concern within the gacha community it's abundantly clear that hoyo has made active attempts to sabotage weathering waves close beta tests and first impressions restricting voice actors at the most inopportune times likely the direct cause for the lack of English dub in the most recent CBT it would be very convenient if a contract from a signed hoyse VA was leaked in the coming weeks I think we'd find some shocking similarities with the previous zzz contracts given to Preferred content creators would a 10e company like Kuro games with years of experience developing gacha games compounded with the learnings from past predecessors release a c C BT with no English dub unless their hand was forced when their earliest CBT had English voice workk their calt arrived without a sign what is dead will stay buried except nothing ever they are not amateurs this game deserves our attention not because it's an incredibly engaging immersive action RPG with with fantastic progression systems but because this is a game that has been set up to fail by the biggest bully in the industry humans naturally gravitate towards the underdog that's why David wins Kuro games is a company that has already earned our support just listen to your Human Nature [Music]
