@GameOtaku no where in my comments did I say fast food is the same as medical science, so keep putting words in my mouth to make your long ass arguments to excuse a big corporation from cheating a VA out of fair wages ✌🏻
@Tober if they can't afford to make these games without cheating their workers, then kamiya and platinum are not good enough at doing business to keep things going, because what's more important above all is that the value of labor owed is rightfully paid.
It's the same issue when it comes to the minimum wage argument. Labor is worth far more than $7.25 per hour and if your small business can't survive without shortchanging employees, if a business can't survive if min wage ever becomes $15 or more, then it's time to call it quits, Bayonetta be damned.
@Tober She IS Bayonetta. The original game didn't even have a Japanese VA. She doesn't have to be paid like Grey Delisle or Tara Strong, not that I ever even pointed to those top tier VAs in any of my comments, but she deserves more respect than 4k.
@Tober and what about the value of her work? VAs should be paid for the value they provide and voice work does A LOT for gaming.
Actors get paid hella for only working a few days or weeks at a time, so pointing out the 4 day/hour thing doesn't make your argument work. VAs deserve more.
@Arawn93 why is paying a living wage to a VA the same as taking away money from the programmers? It’s not a zero sum game. You guys are like programmed or something to be defenders for the rich and powerful. Why isn’t your first response to target CEO pay?
@duffmmann quantitatively you're right, but qualitatively and morally i would disagree completely.
VAs are known for getting short ends of the stick, but the voice of the protagonist for over a decade getting offered less than $4k for the entire Bayo3 role? you rush to call her selfish so you can selfishly play a video game a couple days/a week before just buying it preowned if you actually gave a ****
@Dr_Luigi snarky comments like this just try to prevent yourself from feeling any semblance of guilt, it's so childish, just buy it pre-owned or admit you don't actually care about the situation at all
It truly was a great game, but one that I don't see myself ever replaying. Those Persona-school-sim sections in between levels are just too time consuming. Sure you can skip them, but you miss out on much needed stat upgrades. So yea, great game, but not very replayable.
@Muh-ario Yup, 100% agreed. 3&4 are so critical to the franchise and are super replayable compared to later titles. I’d argue even 1 deserves more love, especially the GBA version, but hey, whatcha gonna do? ¯(ツ)/¯
@Whalehome yakuza 7 is a good but weird starting point as far as I can tell. Like, the rest of the yakuza games are paced similarly but they’re an entirely different genre. I still recommend! (:
Just grabbed in on PC two days ago and have already sunk in over 10 hours. The game is really good. Lots of gameplay improvements that Pokemon fans have wanted as staples for years. And the stamina system makes it unique over the PP system of Pokemon. All y’all haters in the chat should give it a chance before you comment.

Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
@GameOtaku a lot of words just to say “Kamiya and his business dont have what it takes to ethically make it in this business”
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
@GameOtaku just saying that not all labor is skilled labor means it’s you who doesn’t understand economics 😂
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
@GameOtaku all labor is skilled labor, and the minimum wage would be well over $20 if it kept up with productivity and inflation ✌🏻

@GameOtaku you wouldnt say this if a normal actor in some beloved movie or tv series was complaining about wages.

Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
Everyone saying they're gonna buy and play Bayonetta 3 despite the news, cmon...
I want to play Bayo3 just as much as all y'all, been playing this series since it started, but just wait a week and grab it pre-owned. It's so easy.
Buy it pre-owned or admit you don't actually care about this news.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
@Captain-N you have zero understanding about how the games industry or any economy on the whole works at all

Re: Soapbox: In Praise Of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Two Years On
@Meteoroid Yea I got hella other games to play and as good as Three Houses is, it's not good enough to revisit, especially with the school sim stuff

@Muh-ario Yup, 100% agreed. 3&4 are so critical to the franchise and are super replayable compared to later titles. I’d argue even 1 deserves more love, especially the GBA version, but hey, whatcha gonna do? ¯(ツ)/¯
Re: Japan Voted On Final Fantasy's Best Games And Characters - Do You Agree With The Ranking?
