These include, but are not limited to, Wesker taking off his shades only to reveal a second pair of shades, and Albert Wesker side-by-side with Hello Kitty. Other Resident Evil characters make appearances too, including Chris Redfield mid-boulder-punch, and Leon Kennedy with various distorted facial expressions.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox=\"\" data-uri=\"image_PK86Lt3.png\" height=\"1238\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 2.0363489499192244\" width=\"2521\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/pragmata-now-links-to-albert-wesker-memes-after-fan-snaps-up-in-game-website?_gl=1*m4f8c9*_up*MQ..*_ga*MjAyMzYzMjUwMi4xNzc2OTU4NTUz*_ga_BBZCZLHBF6*czE3NzY5NTg1NTQkbzEkZzAkdDE3NzY5NTg1NTQkajYwJGwwJGgw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Speaking to IGN<\/a>, site owner Alexander Trisvyatsky confirmed he had bought the domain after seeing it in the game and built what we see today in only a few minutes. &#8220;I have no plans for the domain,&#8221; Trisvyatsky said. &#8220;This is just a one-time project, and I want to emphasise that I am just a regular fan, not a scammer. I did not include ads, I am not asking for donations, and so on &#8211; I just wanted to have some fun, and it seems it worked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Trisvyatsky, the website had 45,000 views as of this morning. He also had some fond words for Capcom, saying: &#8220;I respect Capcom&#8217;s works, I love their games, and if they ask, I will immediately transfer the domain to them. Great respect to Capcom for continuing to localise their games into Russian, including voice acting &#8211; Russian-speaking players truly appreciate this and are grateful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pragmata is of course proving quite popular, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/pragmata-surpasses-1m-copies-sold-in-two-days\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">having sold over one million copies only two days after its launch<\/a>. Here&#8217;s hoping Capcom lets this website live on into the future &#8211; who doesn&#8217;t love a little community-managed joke now and again?
