It doesn’t sound like they wanted her to return as a voice actor, therefore giving her an offer they knew she wouldn’t accept.

She was obviously offered much more. She is union as well as probably THE most well known woman voice actor around right now. In fact its probably because platinum had her as an option, they ditched Taylor. The low offer was probably just a way for them to ensure it was her that sad no rather than them firing her.…

I hope that she’s able to get out of this situation safely! 

If this was pretty much any other person I’d easily give the benefit of the doubt but Amouranth is the person who cried wolf about being the victim of racial profiling (an accusation of suffering a hate crime that years later she claims was “just a joke”,…

Yes, but the whole games dialog probably only takes a week to record. It’s not like the voice actor is hired and kept on during the entire multi year development cycle.

You would think, but when just about every major role in a massive game goes to the same handful of actors, I’d imagine it’s a bit difficult. Obviously this small group of coice actors can’t do every role, but the certainly get the big payout ones.

From what I understand the pay isn’t awful as much as the work is not consistent.   The 4k offer was probably for a week of work, which I doubt many of us here make that weekly.  The issue is that they are not getting a gig every week that pays that much. 

This is very tough territory for all involved. I was hired to replace Michael Beattie as Mordin Solus in “Mass Effect 3.” I had never played the game, so I didn’t even know I was replacing someone. I found out when I showed up to the session. My agents had sent me the audition, referring to it as an “alien scientist,”…

I feel like people in the comments are missing the obvious conclusion that Kamiya just didn’t want Taylor voicing Bayo and lowballed her intentionally to have her back out. Not that I’m condoning this behavior, but this seems less about an industry-wide problem (though that is definitely a real issue) and more about a…

I last played Xenogears when I was a teen, somewhere in the very tumultuous era of 2000 to 2004, so I’m happy to get a refresher. Also quite happy to see someone who agrees that Xenoblade 1 is worthy of being a favorite game of all time and that the affinity chart is utterly brilliant.

Where I disagree though, is where…

For people who refuse to understand the issue here, ill try to aproach it from another angle 

Hollywood loves formula, and part of the recipe for “animated kids’ movie” these days is “recognisable celebrity voices”.

My only explanation is that maybe analytics have shown people aren’t really tackling the harder optional content in any significant numbers despite the bevy of rewards they offer, and so this was one attempt to encourage players to go for that content: “hey, you can easily complete this quest step by branching out and…

You can always dunk on the ruling class.

There was absolutely nothing “accidental” about it. Nintendo is 100% aware of how they structure these things. They wanted to drop a nod to the Niantic game and misleading you to think that they were going to disappoint you to then drop the announcement you really want has been a very conscious thing they do in…

I like Kojima a lot and I think many of his games are classics, but the guy can really get his head up his own ass sometimes. It’s funny that they cancelled it only because test players couldn't find The End with any accuracy. In a perfect world where this worked exactly as he intended it to, the ideal state is that…

Indeed. It’s just the sort of Thrilling Tale you can swap out for an attack boost as well.

Saving them because you care is fine and good, but doing it out of noblesse oblige gives a nice elemental burst bonus to the entire party.

it’s a yes and no answer. The game story can be played with pretty much any characters. It’s one of the few gacha game that even their low level (4 star) character are still good in most solo content.

Where it is not F2P friendly is in the gacha pull % where you need to invest a lot of currency to get the character…

You’ve been playing the game EVERY DAY? For how long? And you’re surprised that you’re burnt out? This is like one of those Steam reviews that complains, “The game eventually starts getting boring and repetitive...” and the reviewer has played for 768 hours.

Genshin is a fantastic, beautiful, enormous open-world…
