Hoyo has been hurting from these strikes, especially as they only affect some of the studios that they employ for voice acting. I have seen numerous and repeated calls to replace the voice actors because some characters are voiced now and some aren’t.

So I’m not surprised that after months and months, they finally decided to just move on with studios that are still taking work.

I absolutely think that it’s unethical to use someone’s voice work to produce a replacement for them without their consent and appropriate compensation. And from that article, it sounds like Hoyo agrees with me.

Besides that “one weird trick”, the other is to just include a diverse sets of people/cultures in your game. There’s no need to push their agendas, just don’t misrepresent them. That’s actually what they’re asking for, even. It’s a lot more effective, IMO.

Trolls will still complain your game is woke, but they won’t have any teeth.
