Apparently according to this video it was approved by a vote of 98%, will really only effect AAA studios and means all their stuff gets delayed, at least if it requires voice actors.
Maybe AAA will focus on patches then for their buggy games since they can't make overpriced DLCs.
I'm still hoping the writer's deal falls through, I want it ALL to burn down, get replaced by AI and these guys have to learn to mine since we still need coal not overhyped drama queens. Golden time for indies and foreign non-American dependent studios though.
I already have all the celebrity voice acting I need. Namely Patrick Stewart in Oblivion and Leonard Nimoy in Civ4.
TBH I'm far more interested in W. Morgan Shepard's voice from Civ V, someone many sci-fi fans will recognise in the wider genre as well as knowing as the father of Mark Shepard/Badger from Firefly/Crowley from Supernatural. He even played the older version of the character Mark played in Doctor Who one time in the Matt Smith era.
With AI we can clone 100 Picards and Spocks for any conceivable game role.
Fuck! I just realized I can use AI to mod Spock in to the expansions. The new tech lines were read by Sid Meier. I need to discover how.
