I'm gonna be real. I think the reason they plugged YIIK as a giant multimedia franchise in VA-11 Hall-A's world is because it fits the dystopian cyberpunk nature of the game. And they might don't know any better of how the actual product turned out. It's funnier that way.

And considering we already have Vella and Essentia in-game proper, I decided to make in-game sprite for Alex Yiik himself for all to see. Go play VA-11 Hall-A tho it's great.
