Sabotage Studio director Thierry Boulanger announced via Discord that the company will remove content creator and internet personality Jirard ‘The Completionist’ Khalil from the indie RPG hit Sea of Stars.
Sea of Stars arrived on Switch earlier this year in August and featured a segment where Khalil appeared as a non-playable character known as “Jirard the Constructionist” that the main characters of the story could interact with. This decision follows Khalil accused of “charity fraud” last month.
Here is the official message via RPG Fan:
Thierry Boulanger: A small patch will be released on Steam and will be sent to consoles soon to replace the NPC builder in Mirth.
We have come to this decision after carefully following the events of the past few weeks, and while it is not our place to pass judgment, our priority is to maintain a positive and optimistic space that reflects the spirit of our intentions, whether creative or otherwise.
As always, we appreciate your support and trust that you will respect our decision while keeping the tone of the conversation true to the essence of what makes our games and our community what they are. Thank you.
As noted, there is a “small patch” on the way that will replace the builder in Mirth, and this will be sent to consoles “soon”.
