Player Turns Pragmata’s Fake URL Into Resident Evil Meme Site

The stunt highlights how on-screen Easter eggs can spill into real websites.

Overview

  • Eurogamer identifies the site owner as Russian player Alexander Trisvyatsky, who told IGN he bought the unclaimed domain after seeing it in-game, built the page in minutes, saw about 45,000 views this morning, and would hand the domain to Capcom if asked with no ads or donations on the site.
  • The address comes from a Pragmata billboard that scrolls the phrase “a Wesker production com” in the game’s replica of New York, a detail first flagged by streamer Swii.
  • Visiting aweskerproduction.com loads a nonstop scroll of Resident Evil jokes and images featuring Albert Wesker, Leon Kennedy, and other familiar characters.
  • A notice on the page states it is a fan-made project and says it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Capcom.
  • GamesRadar+ notes the Wayback Machine shows history only back to April 19, and outlets link the find to a recent Resident Evil Requiem case where a fan also registered an in-game faux URL.
