I bought bayo 1 on ps3 for £5... im sure majority of people got the game on some form of discount.

I love that you’re like “source?” and then provide NONE yourself.

VGChartz does another poor soul in.

That was a great writeup, thanks for sharing. 

Yeah, I think Taylor is kinda telling on herself with that bit.

Or the title could have said, “Bayonetta’s Original Voice Actor Confirms Bloomberg Report”

It doesn’t change the fact that everyone was reporting the final offer she received was only $4k, which everyone agreed was insulting but now the details have changed.

Even if she considers 10k to still be insulting, it reframes the whole situation making her look at the very least a liar by omission because these…

They acknowledged it. Just very poorly and arguably in a way that casual readers could easily miss (an update to like a week old article was the most visible one I saw).

At this point Hellena, you need to show your receipts because you have one of THE most reputable names in gaming journalism claiming otherwise.

So she lied, then when she got caught, she lied again, then she issued a non-apology casually admitting the truth.

While it’s agreeable that she deserves a living wage (everyone does), if someone offered me 10,000 for 16-20 hours of work I’d be chomping at the bit. That’s a week, maybe 2 if we take our time, to earn what normally takes me 3-4 months. 15,000? I’d do it standing on my head.

The devs—who work at the actual company and make most of the actual product—deserve most of the profits.

This is the part where I hope someone can do some investigative journalism to get to the bottom of this.

Yeah, this one’s definitely on Taylor. She, intentionally or not, led everyone to believe that Platinum/Nintendo were only paying her $4K for all voice work of the main character. According to her latest comments, she got paid 3000£ for the first game, so $15k is actually a nice improvement, I think (even accounting…

Yeah, per bloomberg which latter corroborated by at least 2 other newsgroup.

First thing first, Why she is trying to inflate Bayonetta franchise number? where that 450 million comes from?

In light of the information that Jason Schreier provided it is indeed baseless. I don’t understand why people need to keep coming up with theories when we already have most of the picture from a reputable source.  It wasn’t a bad theory day one, but it hasn’t aged well at all.

This is the part where I hope someone can do some investigative journalism to get to the bottom of this.

I really like how Kotaku continues to refuse to dedicate any articles to Schreier/Bloomberg’s report on the matter while continually pushing Taylor’s account exclusively.

This baseless speculation needs to die. She had to audition for Bayonetta 3. If they wanted to get rid of her they would have just turned her down in the audition rather than do a lowball. People acting like they lowballed her to get rid of her have zero evidence that this is true and it doesn’t make sense given the…
