TRUMP: No you don't. No.

INGRAHAM: We don't have talented people here?

I have been having A LOT of fun with this game, but finding out they used AI voices, I'm dropping it immediately despite how many hours I've sunk into it. This is unfortunate, and I wish they would do better.

The response to school shootings has been dictated by capitalism. Isn't that just the American way? A new doc looks at the 'business' created by our lack of gun reform.

Voice actors never get paid royalties on video games. It's one of the biggest scars on the industry as a whole.

“Who get royalties from the game”

Oh we’re all just telling fairy tales now?

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

There's a couple of options

1. Shout "LA MIGRA" (pronounced Lah Me-Grah) as loudly as you can when you see an ICE officer

2. Record the activity of ICE agents and send the footage to J. B. Pritzker for his upcoming legal case

3. Report the activity to 855-435-7693

Even on projects that don’t feature AI, it’s often difficult to justify how little voice actors get paid for work on projects that sell in the millions

So it’s fascinating to see folks say “they were compensated fairly” repeatedly on this occasion where we don’t even have the voice actors credited.
The argument I'm hearing about it is "the voice actors got paid for it so it's all good"

We don't know how much they got paid, or if they get royalties every time those lines get used.

It's a slippery slope being brushed off because "game good"

if Arc Raiders had plagiarized art, would it matter?

Literally no one wants to negotiate their own insurance!
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Trump pardoned his former lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, and numerous other allies who supported his 2020 election subversion efforts. The pardons appear to be symbolic, given that none of those pardoned faced federal charges.

The discourse following this will amount to “so much for eurogamer’s review mattering”

But this only reinforces how absurd it is to not use traditional voice actors instead of feeding their voices into a machine.

You’re this successful, after your previous game made millions?

What is the excuse?

“Why would I telegraph you what we're going to do?”

The GOP won’t talk about health care because they don’t have a solution. Families will pay more, people will suffer needlessly, and Republicans don’t seem to care.

I think every James Bond actor going forward should be forced to do a Sean Connery accent. Not even a good one - the kind of SNL Jeopardy impression you'd hear a deeply annoying guy do over and over at a college party. But it needs to happen. For continuity.
