Tonight, Taylor He wrote a series of tweets contradicting some of the characters in this Reportssaying:
It came to my knowledge that some people call me a liar and a gold digger. I feel the need to defend myself and my reputation in the industry.
I also posted on the third part of my video series. I explained that their first offer was too low. This bid totaled $10,000. Remember, this is a $450 million franchise, (not counting the merchandise). Then I wrote in Japanese to Hideki Kamiya, asking what I was up to Deserves. I thought that as a creator, he would understand. He replied saying how much he appreciates my contribution to the game and how much fans want to express the game. Then I was offered an extra 5,000! [Note: it appears this is a typo, and that Taylor means 5,000]
Therefore, she refused to express the game. Then I heard nothing from them for 11 months. Then they offered me a flat fee for expressing a few lines for $4,000. Any other lies, such as 4000 lies for 5 sessions, are total fabrications.
There were no “extensive negotiations”. I’ve also been informed of silly ideas, like I’m asking for $250,000. I am a team player. I was only asking for a fair and living wage in line with the value I give to this game.
I paid an astonishingly low total of £3,000 for the first game. A little more about a second. I wanted to express it. It has piqued my interest in this game since I started on Twitter in 2011.
