For those not in the know: several characters for the remake of Yakuza 3 here were recast with celebrity actors, which in addition to fucking up the visual language of how the characters look ... pretty much entirely, but the most famous one was caught on tape assaulting hostesses. Way before he was announced for this.

Of course, Sega is one of the many companies helping to sportswash Saudi Arabia’s government, so I suppose attempting to launder the rep of a celebrity is small potatoes.

Not like he was associated with drugs in which case they’d have deleted him off the face of the earth and replaced him in a matter of a few months.

Like Kiwami 3 already has a lot of other problems from how the riggging of the old models to the new models fucks things up in animation, or how Rikiya feels like an entirely different character, or Ryukyu having been shrunk.
