I don’t think every Genshin fan hates Nintendo as many of them are expecting/hoping the game to come onto the Switch 2 sometime soon. As for shitty people voicing in Hoyo games, Vic is thankfully not in any Hoyo game. Here are the shitty people currently voicing in all 3 EN dubbed Hoyo games

Someone defending their ability to love Harry Potter without supporting JK Rowling saying “if Toriyama was on the Epstein list, people could still love Dragon Ball”
1) that’s a hell of a hypothetical to suggest
2) based on how people reacted to Neil Gaiman this last year, I don’t know if I agree.

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:
"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."
Something to keep an eye on.

Imma just say, cause no one else is, the new Sucrose voice SUCKS! It is so ass. The VA doesn’t even sound like Sucrose, hell they don’t even sound like they’re interested in playing the character. For a comparison, here’s one of Valeria’s lines vs the new VA line in the 6.2 trailer

Considering AI voices in games was the example used in article, here’s some nuance:
Voice actors are increasingly pressured into giving up their voice prints in perpetuity for some of these games. Some for cheap; others are finding these terms snuck into contracts.
Not an “extreme”, but reality.

Dude... you said before you hated Starbucks coffee. Of course you're going to side with unions when it doesn't affect your waifus voices. lol

“They gave consent, it’s legal use of AI voice over”
I don’t care about legality and neither do you. You want to play your game and enjoy it guilt free.
I want human beings to be able to work in the industry they trained half their lives for.
It’s a moral issue. It’s a human issue.

I say this with empathy toward every struggling actor who is just trying to make due:
Providing your voice for A.I. undermines everyone in the industry. It is a net negative, that will only make it harder for you and everyone else down the line.
It. Is. Wrong.

“But in ARC Raiders the GenAi voices were officially sanctioned by the actors! And so did Fortnite!” - and their agreement to this undermines everything the rest of us Voice Actors, our union, and other industries have been fighting against.

At the risk of getting yet another round of death threats and harassment from marks. Bragging about how much stealing a struck role brought you so much success is unbelievably scummy.
It's not your character. You stole it from someone is who is ten times the VA you'll ever be. Scumbag.

It pains me that there is an entire generation of people who have now grown up trained to view manipulative, engagement-farming gambling games as the norm for video games.

I know I'm not supporting any Hoyoverse VA that still works for them despite what happened... especially the job stealers like Jacob.
Months ago I asked a VA if they were gonna strike this game and I got a very loud "FUCK NO"
Hate to say it but I don't think any of the VAs still working for Hoyoverse are going to stop working for them. Even though they absolutely should.

Except the alternative is getting fired or the company just stealing your voice anyway. Forced coercion is not consent. This is why we have/need union contracts.

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".
Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?
