VTuber Eilene posted her will on YouTube, explaining that her business partner (H) defrauded her for over 20 million yen (around $134k). She explains in a statement that she is telling her story in hopes that she can prevent someone else going through what she did in the future, and that she wants someone to help her family after she is gone.
The whole message and story is available on both Eilene's YouTube account and her Twitter (X) account. To summarize, Eilene explains that she created a certain VTuber agency (H) in 2022 and sold her company after she became sick. She sold it to a Chinese person (G) with powerful connections and a lot of money. However, G refused to pay the livers in the agency, as well as insulted VTubers in the company. For a year and a half, Eilene had to work for free and pay the livers out of her own pocket.
Though it's been around two years since she sold the company, G has not once shown her a P/L statement and owes her over 20 million JPY. He has recently shifted to threatening her, and the stress has caused her to rely on drugs for her mental health. Whenever the effects of the drugs wear off, she has the strong urge to commit suicide. She has discussed this with her lawyers and the authorities in Japan. However, most of them have stated that there is not much they can do to G. She has enough evidence to win a court case against G. However, there is the chance that they can't make any arrests due to G living in China or G using a proxy in Japan.
At the end of the message, Eilene adds that this is not an issue with Chinese people. It doesn't matter where the other person comes from; it only matters what methods they use. The only regret she has is her family, and she hopes that someone will take care of them after she passes.
Eilene is one of the world's first VTubers, with her first video appearing on YouTube in March 2014. She uploaded it onto a channel that later became the Mirai Akari Project Channel, which officially started in 2017. Eilene has stated multiple times in her will that she will discuss certain topics "in more detail in the next video."

In a recent interview with Famitsu, Silent Hill: The Short Message Producer and Director Motoi Okamoto talked about the decision to release the game for free. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
During the interview, Okamoto revealed that the original purpose of creating the game was for research and development, and so that younger audiences unfamiliar with the series could access the game easily and without reservations. The developer also said that, while the series has a well-established popularity it hasn't received a game for more than 10 years, so even if people know the game a lot of them have not played a game.
Additionally, Okamoto mentioned that had Silent Hill: The Short Message been a paid title, the developers might have needed to add more conventional elements to the title such as combat mechanics, or include various different endings.
Silent Hill: The Short Message is the first mainline title in the series since Silent Hill: Downpour, developed by Vatra Games and released in 2012. The Short Message was developed by both Konami and HexaDrive, and released for free after the January 2024 State of Play showcase on January 31, 2024.
Silent Hill: The Short Message is immediately available for free for the PlayStation 5.

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Saturday, February 10, 2024 12:07 AM  Rise from being a complete nobody to becoming a pirate worthy of a name given by a unique physical trait! Here are all the Infamy ranks in Skull and Bones. Skull and Bones: Al Infamy Ranks Whether it is a new career or a new particular set of skills you want to learn, we all start small in the grand scheme of things to continuously improve and scale the hierarchies and, from time to time, even challenge the status quo. The same thing applies to piracy, or at least that's what I would say if I were a pirate – which I am not, of course. With that being said, Skull and Bones does provide a very particular portrayal of escalating the different ranks of a fictional pirate system. This is called Infamy, and it is correctly named given the implications of running a pirate enterprise and how a famous pirate would be seen in the real world. Yeah, no romanticizing any Jack Sparrow lookalikes here – that's Captain Jack Sparrow for you. There are a total of 10 diff... |
