@Abetillo The first that could even remotely be considered a Vtuber was in 2010, with Nitroplus making Super Sonico videos. Financial ruin existed on a smaller level, but 2008 was the start of the global financial crisis/crises. As far as gacha goes, yeah I'd agree on that point, in terms of things like TCG booster packs and whatnot.

@Xitel
i was thinking in more typical japanese terms about the gacha, like the balls with toys inside that people collected and still collects in Japan to death, more general things like the collecting cards for sports players, or just the typical farming for a specific item in any ARPG which is not much different from farming ''waifus'' in Gacha Order and similar ones if not going the PtW way.
Financial crisis begun in 2006-2007, but yeah, till 2008 it did not make it big.
There is no need for them to have a name or a legacy for them to be vtubers or the like.

@Abetillo Nobody was doing the Vtuber concept of "real person streaming as fake avatar" until really Kizuna Ai, in 2016. Even the Super Sonico thing was just pre-recorded video of a character, not much different from normal animation. Some people argue that Ami Yamato was the first Vtuber, though it's slightly different since she was just using an animated avatar of herself, rather than streaming as a character, and even then she wasn't until mid-2011. Livestreaming in general was barely a thing (Justin.tv was still one of the only options around back then), much less cemented to the point where people were doing things like Vtuber stuff. I'm not saying that there was nobody with a "name or legacy" back then, I'm saying the core concept just didn't really exist until many years later.
