Could also have something to do with how corrupt their office is over there. I've heard lots of allegations of female streamers needing to do things such as send nudes or perform sexual acts to stay on the platform. Similar to how the kpop industry is run.

i don't know about any allegations, but i was going to suggest it was probably some scandal brewing.. the reason given is totally bogus.. they are pulling out to avoid pressure from something else entirely..
