The admission that this game wasted circa 130GB of disc space for no particular reason or benefit is kind of funny because it raises very uncomfortable questions other AAA tier game developers are not brave enough to answer.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
