I really want AI voices to replace Western voice actors/actresses. Really badly.
SAG-AFRTA is nothing but a racket that has and continues to ruin gaming (I know they also ruin movies, but Hollywood movies are a lost cause anyway. I stick mostly with classics from the 60s/70s/80s or South Korean, Chinese, Russian and very select few Danish films).
I thought the lawsuit against Epic for making an AI voiceovered Darth Vader was funny because you couldn't ask for a better advertisement for never hiring any SAG-AFTRA voice actors, since it gives them unlimited leeway to sue you for things they have no bearing on. The AI Vader simply couldn't exist with pre-canned voice lines, so what remedy do they want other than either stealing money or preventing Epic from doing it in the first place?
Remember kids, if you need voice acting, never hire a union VA, or they will sue you for things they should have no say in.
Won't help with Hoyo, which shifts towards UK. Those crybullies ruined great jobs for people in the US. Potentially making it so more Asian games will think twice going to the US... GOOD! I am so sick and tired of those people.
