Saw something about that yesterday. Just like the others, nothing of value was lost.

I get very little from video game voice acting anyway. For years and years it was text on screen. I'd take well written text and good music 100x over a voice actor.

I can think of several games with peak voice acting. Unfortunately, they're all from the 90s and 2000s. So, you know, back when gaming was unambiguously good.

Can't think of anyone better than David Hayter for Solid Snake, for one. The games wouldn't have been the same without him.
