"Ubgoe withheld the funds raised in the campaign, which were supposed to be delivered by September of 2025. When they inquired, Ubgoe only fulfilled half of the money."
"Ishii's team is logically skeptical of this explanation and suspect the money was misused in some other manner."
"The fine print on Ubgoe says that all of these promised items are guaranteed, though it's farcical to imagine that being more legally binding than the platform's own promise to deliver the money."
Spike Chunsoft's 428: Shibuya Scramble gained popularity after its 2009 release. Jiro Ishii announced a sequel, Shibuya Scramble Stories, which raised 54 million yen on Ubgoe. However, Ubgoe only delivered half the funds, claiming an error sent the rest to the wrong account. Ishii's team is skeptical of this explanation and is preparing legal action. Despite the financial issues, development of the game continues, but concerns remain about fulfilling additional pledge benefits promised during the campaign.
