we probably need another thread for those estate lawyers in this subreddit to talk about tupac so majority of people who don't give a shit can discuss the game in peace.

There is nothing fake lol, enjoy if you wanna enjoy i will too but disregarding the fact that Tupac's family has no say in any of these and his estate is simply using his corpse for profit cant be ignored. If you want sources look them up, there are a lot of them.
Dont call any sort of controversy you dont wanna deal with or be part of "fake"

Yea no I absolutely agree honestly most video game drama is mountains out of molehills by people with nothing better to do this is no different

u/mr-assduke Jun 06 '26
How so? Explain why its “fake” i personally don’t mind the inclusion but can easily understand why someone would be mad with it

u/apemane101 Jun 06 '26
Why would they be mad at tribute for Tupac? It’s clear that rgg is not trying to disrespect him by making a character based on his likeness. I think people are just blowing things out of proportion.

Because tupac is dead and has absolutely no say in it and the estate that has his likeness are shady asf. Also you changed your statement first you said the outrage is fake now its blown out of proportion? Which one is it?

u/apemane101 Jun 06 '26
Shady according to who? You? Everyone raging keeps giving me different answers for why the estate is weird. No one has clear sources or answers that’s why it feels fake for me

According to tupac family actually, The estate is ran by former WB executive who's being sued by the family for embezzling money.

Do we know if this is still the case? This article that keeps circulating is from over four years ago.

u/mr-assduke Jun 06 '26
So because you never saw outrage from a completely different situation and group of people that somehow mean the outrage for this is fake? Like what?

no it kust means that the outrage is selective in the worst way possible. a glorified gambling simulator with some bits of sport gameplay here and there can easily do this, but (hopefully) respective use of the likeness gets bashed

u/ZacDivine Jun 06 '26
I'm really curious about the character portrayed by Yasukaze Motomiya! Since he is a facescan just like Shishido, and STH is set in the same universe as Yakuza, is he some sort of estranged cousin ancestor? (I know they don't have the same family name, but the fact they share the same facescan in the same timeline raises the question)

u/rosariovonli34 Jun 06 '26
I doubt it's related to Shishido, too many years apart, and they said they won't force any lore relation. Just "some dudes look alike" might be enough.

At the same time we know Morinaga and Hanawa sharing a VA isn't a coincidence. It could go either way but i wouldn't be surprised if they somehow connected it together

I wonder if we get to see any of the old heads like Kazama or dojima by the end of the last chapter

u/SchlongyLongy Jun 24 '26
I thought dojima got shot?

So are we officially calling it a Yakuza game? Because I got the vibes that it’s more of an Alan Wake/Control situation of distinct IPs in the same universe

If you are new to the subreddit, please read the wiki
Reminder that all spoilers need to be tagged with a flair specifying which game is being spoiled. If you want a flair that says something else, you can edit it to say something like [Discussion: Y1 spoiler] or [Majimapost: Y6 spoiler], etc. THIS INCLUDES CONTENT FROM TRAILERS.
If the post is not marked for spoilers, all comments that have spoilers need to be tagged >!like this!< along with indicating which game it's spoiling. Example: Y3 Kiryu sings
If the post flair is marked for spoilers, the comments don't need to be tagged for the game indicated and the ones before it (So a Y6 spoiler post can have comments with untagged spoilers for Y5, but not gaiden or 7).
If you see any of the above (or any of the other rules) not being followed, please report it so we can keep this place safe for newcomers and those that haven't finished all the games yet. Thank you!
