“Hello dudes” — a Russian gamer registered a website from Pragmata and filled it with Resident Evil memes

A Russian gamer, Alexander Trisvyatsky, noticed the address aweskerproduction.com on one of the billboards in Pragmata. It turned out the domain was unregistered, so he quickly claimed it and filled the site with Resident Evil memes. The prank paid off: Alexander became a star of the Western internet — he even gave an interview to IGN.

The homepage greets visitors with the phrase “Hello dudes”. On the site, Alexander collected jokes and references to Resident Evil, primarily centered around Albert Wesker, whose name is echoed in the domain. According to Trisvyatsky, the site has already attracted around 45,000 visitors. He also spoke warmly about Capcom: “I respect Capcom’s work, I love their games, and if they ask, I will immediately hand over the domain. Huge respect to Capcom for continuing to localize their games into Russian, including voice acting — Russian-speaking players truly appreciate it and are grateful.”

Pragmata is a new sci-fi action game built around a failed attempt by humanity to colonize the Moon. Due to mysterious circumstances, androids rebel, and the mission collapses. The protagonist must go through numerous trials to return to Earth, accompanied by an android who looks like a young girl.

Pragmata launched on PC and consoles on April 17. Since then, the game has sold 1 million copies. Capcom called this a strong result, especially considering the project wasn’t based on a popular book or film. Meanwhile, a bizarre theory recently went viral online claiming that Pragmata is a government-backed project aimed at boosting Japan’s demographics, with posts on the topic gathering tens of thousands of likes on social media.

Do you think Capcom should leave this site as part of Pragmata’s fan-driven history?
