Have you considered Crowdfunding to buy Gawr Gura's IP rights?

Yes, I understand that it's a polite and politically correct way to put things without stirring up drama.

But I still saw the implication that she's stopping not because she wants to stop, but because of some irreconcilable disagreement with the company on how to proceed.

Ignoring whatever the nature of the disagreement may be (I'm not interested in unhelpful finger pointing), my point is that the reason for this situation lies within the relationship between her and the company.

She just wants to leave the company.

Leaving the character is just an unfortunate byproduct of that.

Am I wrong?

Has she actually expressed all of that or is that an educated exercise of reading between the lines?

Not criticizing, just curious.

If she unambiguously expressed wanting to move on from this character, then that's that.

However, I got the impression that abandoning the character was a hard decision that pained her, but that she had to do as part of leaving the company.

Fair enough.

I might'be been misinterpreting her account of pressure and nervousness.

I understood it as a problem that would mostly go away if she was freed from the company and could instead play the character for her own sake, without the pressure of having other people's livelihoods dependant on her performance.

If you're saying it's not like that and that it's the fans and attention itself that make her nervous, then it makes sense for her to want to step away from the limelight.

However, the main reason she offered for this decision is a disagreement with management and company direction, so I'm not too convinced that she wouldn't jump at the opportunity to take her beloved character and go idie with it.

I think the main issue with this idea would be her feeling guilty and pressured by the amount of money her fans would have to spend to strike a deal. Especially if that money is going towards a company that she's not the biggest fan of anymore.

So it has happened before, but in a smaller agency? It might be possible if there's enough interest, after all.

But judging from the overall response, there isn't much interest in keeping the character around, on all sides.

Hi all, I'm just a tourist passing by on account of the news, but I was wondering if your fan community has considered the following:

You could try organizing a crowdfunding campaign to negotiate buying or licensing the character rights from the company and let Gawr Gura continue as an independent.

That is, of course, assuming the person behind the character is interested in such an arrangement and wouldn't rather retire or transition into a new character.

I'm also assuming such a deal is possible to begin with. I don't know if the company would even be willing to negotiate.

Just an idea.

If you know of any reason why it wouldn't be possible, please share. I'm curious about it.

If you're wanting to disable the steamdeck's steam controller

Thanks! I just wrote an automated way to do this: https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1e2u64q/solution_to_disable_steam_deck_controller_when/

It does the same, but it's using a wrapper script you can add to your game's launch options, a sudoers file to avoid asking for a password and a zenity pop up to confirm before disabling the controller.

This is the bit that's based on this post: 

#!/bin/bash

# Find id of Steam Deck Controller
function find_id {(
    cd /sys/bus/usb/devices
    for i in ?-? ; do
        vendor="$(cat "$i/idVendor")"
        product="$(cat "$i/idProduct")"
        if [[ "$vendor:$product" == "28de:1205" ]] ; then
            echo "$i"
            return 0
        fi
    done
)}

cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid
if [[ $1 == undo ]] ; then
   printf "%s\n" "$(find_id)":1.{0..2} >bind
else
   printf "%s\n" "$(find_id)":1.{0..2} >unbind
fi

It looks for the device with the right ID instead of assuming its address, so it should be more resilient against changes.

That code is meant to be used as a script you call with no arguments to disable the controller and with "undo" to re-enable.

Solution to disable Steam Deck Controller when running a game. Made to use with Doom Eternal, which has a broken weapon wheel when playing with mouse and keyboard.

Prompted by this Steam thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/782330/discussions/0/4417551276175852948/

Solution based on this Reddit post: https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/x0ycxj/if_youre_wanting_to_disable_the_steamdecks_steam/

It's pretty much that, but more automated.
