The creator of the Persona 5 fanzine pulled out of the project after spending more than $21,000 on personal expenses, part of which was spent on Genshin Impact.
“Rie, the previous editor-in-chief of Showtime, recently admitted that she spent the remaining $27,625.10 of Showtime funds,” Showtime’s Twitter account said in a tweet on Thursday. The post continues: “She lied to the editorial team, even going so far as to claim nothing was stolen and provided misleading and outdated bank screenshots to show that all funds were available. Ri only admitted to spending the funds for personal purposes when she had completely exhausted them and she was no longer able to fulfill other publishers’ shipping requests.”
After a project member claimed that the money was spent on Genshin Impact, Rhee confirmed to GamesRadar that she spent some of the money on the gacha game, along with food, rent, and other “frivolous items” like stuffed animals and magazines. . Showtime stated that Rea paid back C$3,000 of the funds when applying for a loan.
A statement from the Showtime group explained that, to this point, it had shipped about half of the magazine’s pre-ordered issues, with 805 orders shipped and 763 still pending. By this time, Showtime had exhausted the funds it needed to ship the remaining orders.
Showtime’s remaining publishers quickly relaunched the new site and held a fundraiser over the weekend, stating “Proceeds will be used to fulfill fundraising orders/all pending Etsy pre-orders, to refund project costs and any other necessary expenses. Any remaining funds will be divided among contributors as originally intended.”
Everything seems to have gone very well, with another 750 magazine orders received and enough donations to allow the group to pay more members to help fill the orders.
