Nier: Automata creator Yoko Taro says 'nearly half' of his autographs 'being resold are actually fake', since he puts 'small unknown features' in them

NieR creator Yoko Taro in his trademark Emil mask from the games.

I already knew scalpers and the like probably weren't the most reputable people on the internet—but I've just had that assessment re-affirmed, because they're trying to grift game developer's autographs now.

That's per a post by Yoko Taro, director of the Nier games, to X. Taro was shown an image of a signed copy of the Nier Reincarnation OST being sold on Vinted, a site typically used for more noble purposes, like reselling clothes or old books. Mind, flogging a signed something-or-other isn't inherently scummy (times are tough!) but what isn't great is faking the signature entirely.
