Erika Ishii

Now they're out there begging for money on Kickstarter for what is not...

A game? Is it even a game? It's like we're going to make a movie about us talking about the next game we're going to make, and we're going to bring Erika Ishii into it, and you're going to give us a half a million dollars for that.

It's like, what? Okay, but they're going to get the money, I'm sure.

The latest changes will see Activision take on the Halo and Sea of Thieves franchises, as well as Age of Empires.

Well, speaking of awful, Double Fine reached their $600,000 crowdfund goal, and then they announced, hey, we're excited.

We brought on Erica Ishii to help us with our next game.

And if you know who Erica Ishii is, the rest is self-explanatory, but basically a bunch of people, or maybe hundreds of people, or a half a dozen people, said they were going to pull their crowdfunding because Double Fine, according to them, couldn't have picked the worst person to bring on to their project.

And Erika Ishii is the lead actress from Ghost of Yotei, which kind of made that game harder to sell than it should have been.

And she has made some questionable public appearances and stuff.

All this stuff is related, guys.

And at $600,000, Erika Ishii is going to do voiceovers, and people really don't like Erika Ishii because of activism.

And apparently there have been a lot of documentation.

There's been a lot of documentation of some of the stuff that Erika Ishii said that people don't like.

All right.

So Pirate Nation says people stopped donating and many are asking for refunds for Double Fine's Kickstarter campaign after the studio announced Erika Ishii as a voice actress for the winning game.

The campaign passed 550,000 yesterday and almost didn't move with a 600,000 stretch goal unlocking Ishii's involvement.

It's over 600,000 now.

Anyway, the contestants in the drinking game are basically the seven cast, but we have to go through them anyway.

Lily Du, Erica Ishii, Ellie Woods, and Elle is making their debut.

Giovanni, also making his debut.

Angela Giartana, also making her debut.

And then they announced, hey, for the next fucking goal, if you support us, we're going to get the most popular, non-fucking-controversial, lovely person that's universally loved.

Erika Ishii from Ghost of Yotei lead.

And the reaction from people like, wait, what the fuck? Get me my money back, mother fucker.

I

Yeah, and I guess to keep it real topical real fast, I don't have a lot to say on this.

So speaking of one of the companies that Xbox dropped Double Fine very recently, they started Kickstarter for a new game that's yet unreleased in – So they put a stretch goal to bring Erika Ishii in, the main actress from Ghost of Yatay, who all the online grifters hate.

And apparently there's a big spurg out on Twitter because she's very pro-LGBT.

And it's just like...
