There are many wild and wonderfully eccentric characters in the world of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and none more endearing than Esquie, voiced by the fantastic Maxence Cazorla in both the English and French versions of the game.
So much so that fans are rampantly demanding a plush version of the lovable character immediately, especially as there is one to be found within the game if you look closely enough within The Manor.
Unfortunately, the demand for our very own Esquie to hug has resulted in a bunch of third parties creating spurious versions.
While fan-made arts and crafts are generally encouraged within the gaming community, AI-generated artwork is not and many of this fake merchandise is using AI to profit.
One such website has gone as far to take the doman 'esquieplushie.com' (opens Reddit thread not the scam site) — to scam fans of the game without linking back to the developer and branding itself as an official store for Clair Obscur merchandise.
