I don't think you are being fair, you decided to not work in a project for personal reasons, whatever the project owner decided to do with the project afterwards is not your fault.

They can saw you came back or nobody did, but that's not your choice, it's them weaponizing something that not on you

Inconsistent application of the rules, does lead to a legal precedent of the rules not existing anymore.

This has been true in any legal system based on the Roman law (so most, if not all of them)

Example: Copyright law losing its value if you make no effort to enforce it.

This is a bit confusing as an outsider, if so many people have left the field because of how it's politics first, talent second, then why are this people protecting it?

I understand hoping it gets better but at some point, things should fall by their own weight.

Regardless, hope the hate dies down

What about people that don't are writing emails in a language that isn't their first one?
April 25, 2025 at 3:45 PM
Yep, this isn't going away tho.

AI broke educations as we know it and will have to be reinvented, but for a while, until we do....

The hamster wheel goes brrrr

Non union actors have less protections.

If some non union actors were to express their imaginary wish in a random petition with no point beyond satisfying a random person, they would be more likely to be recast.

How more likely? Who knows. Is there any merit to doing what you are saying? No
April 7, 2025 at 9:21 PM
It always applied.

From my understanding SAG didn't care about Video games so it wasn't enforced. Now with the strike they are enforcing it? Maybe? Who knows?

Should they have accepted the roles if they were part of SAG? Technically not. But alas, the past is in the past.

It makes sense, managing a fandom of the size of hoyo games is scary.

But at the end of the day, it was inevitable that as time went on the fandom would be more annoyed by mute characters and no info

So the whole Kinnich thing was just the trigger that sparked months of confusion and impatience

I think that for many at this point, if it's up to interpretation, they will choose to see it as malicious.

Yeah I agree if, the whole thing had been communicated in a manner similar to the video from Joe from day 1, we would not be here.

Hopefully it's a lesson learned for someone out there lol.
April 6, 2025 at 11:50 PM
Yeah, I agree it definitely it seems more unintentional than not.
April 6, 2025 at 11:37 PM
Yeah I understand it was only so much "Independant" as it was still supported and encouraged.

I understand that everyone involved probably was trying to simplify things as much as possible, but now it comes off a bit... misinformative? Not saying anyone was malicious or attempted to lie tho.
April 6, 2025 at 11:32 PM
Not saying Zach or anyone had to know, but there is a lot more onus on the information that every individual has on a smaller independent strike than on a massive one.

Especially on how they communicate it because they were the ONLY channel of communication as SAG had nothing to do with it.
April 6, 2025 at 11:26 PM
But isn't it weird that someone didn't know? It made sense people not knowing when the idea was it was the SAG strike.

But now that we know it was organized individuals striking, at the same time as another unrelated strike, everyone had to be part of the conversation to organize?

I found this thread talking about the live stream I remembered:

You can check the stream, maybe I got it wrong, but that's where I got it from, I recall more tweets and stuff but, this is the main source.

Zach Aguilar (Aether EN VA) about the strike and current situation

I actually really respect the fact that individuals organized to get better conditions, but Jesus has the PR been awful.

If the public opinion matters I don't see it swinging back, hopefully it doesn't and the organized hoyo actors have a 5D chess plan.
April 6, 2025 at 11:01 PM
My only gripe with the new info is that I saw several VAs explain the strike before the whole thing exploded.

And most of them seemed to shift the thing as it's out of my hands, it's the union.

When in reality everyone was striking individually, knowing this I understand how people feel lied to.
April 6, 2025 at 10:58 PM
*Support > Hate

Lol
April 5, 2025 at 7:10 PM
So yeah we didn't go from:

Support > Care
We went from:

Apathy/Didn't even know > Hate

Still a net loss IMO, but yeah, you are right.
April 5, 2025 at 7:09 PM
The screen captures show apathy and not caring.

And honestly, I think that's the most common response, people that just play the game probably didn't understand/care why some characters went mute.

Regardless the sentiment is now anger and hate, and the up votes show more people care now.
April 5, 2025 at 7:07 PM
Definetely, but there are a ton of trivial things to be done, and that's why juniors have it rough, their trivial tasks are the ones that are being done by one person instead of two.
April 3, 2025 at 7:54 AM
Not saying I'm a fan, but it 100% it's here to stay, and yeah the field got way more competitive and juniors are joining the field in an awful state where they have been replaced by ai.

Alas, would I choose this timeline no but this is the state of the industry as I see it.

No use crying now.
April 3, 2025 at 1:48 AM
Oh I'm aware of the pain points, we are interviewing for roles right now and it's a pain that everyone is using AI for everything and it's a pain to get a feeling of what they know now.

But it does improve efficiency, and upper management will always push for being able to do more for less.
April 3, 2025 at 1:44 AM
It's something I've heard from a lot of close circles, it's a trend to improve efficiency thanks to AI.

You do have to be very careful tho, as you say, if you have someone that doesn't know what they are doing it can go to hell very fast
April 3, 2025 at 1:31 AM
I understand that it's way harder to implement because of copyright and stuff. But yeah it is inevitable that tools specialized for writing will pop up.

I understand that in this changing times, being an early adopter is probably foolish in any creative endeavor.
April 2, 2025 at 7:34 PM
Thanks! This is definitely it, so there is no assistive tool that is being widely (pubicly) used by writers for now.

I would assume it could be very helpful for proofreading and structuring.
