This is really how every third artist/creator was in the 2010s and they wonder why people adopted AI so much. There was a woman who monetized a viral post about owning two Switch 2s and made enough money to buy another two Switch 2s theoretically and artists in the thread got mad she was not commissioning them for art she didn't even want ($80 sketches btw)

>>714386857
Honestly the biggest issue isn't even artists being asshole, it's their skills
No one wants to spend 90 bucks for one person in generic pose in vague and undetailed environment that they will have to wait two months for, this shit is easily doable in like two or three days if you put in actual effort

He's right though, good voice actors are worth their weight in gold and AI is soulless. Mods where the modders find random people doing lines is even more soulful

>>714386113 (OP)
How about you just get a job that pays, bro?

>>714387169
If most people delayed work that much they would be fired, that was always a major problem yes

Every actor is replaceable no matter how skilled they are, and they WILL be replaceable. The AI will get there

You're not entitled to free labor

>modder is expected to release content for free
>but you should pay ME for a bad impression
Passion means no pay necessary. If youre only in it for a paycheck then you ain't my nigga.

>>714387380
Yeah but there are barely any voice actors worth of note in vidya scene

>>714388147
AI isn't labor also you aren't entitled to free money

>>714388214
AI is trained on stolen property and is a summary of everyone's labor without consent

>>714388341
Sounds like you should pay me for my contribution to the genre then

>>714388341
>stolen
Copying isn't stealing. It's also legal.
>without consent
Not necessary.

>>714387380
I don't have the time or patience to listen to a fucking actor chew their Marvel-tier millennial written bullshit faggot lines and have to pay extra for the privilege. Voice acting was a mistake.

>>714386113 (OP)
Huh

>>714388147
I'm not. But if I can get some I will anyway.

He's also an engineering graduate who's been stuck as a technician for the past 10 years. Just judging by how he conducts himself publicly, this negroid does NOT network well.

It feels good seeing these dumbasses realize game devs never gave a shit about them.

>>714387918
them wanting to get paid for their shitty acting (that isn't real work) by hobbyist modders really do take the cake

>>714387380
good voice actors that get work don't see the on twitter about not getting paid though

ever since garbage like Critical Role literally changed how people interacted with games, for the worse, I've hoped every VA loses their jobs and never work again

outside of Chris Judge and the new Mario guy, of course

they can stay

but the rest of these onions faggots and whores trying to do epic Markiplier voice?

they can all die

I will pay VAs, thank you Twitter fat man!
>hires british VAs with classical theater training

>Critical Role literally changed how people interacted with games
Can I get a quick bogdown on this
I know that name but that's all, aren't they a stupid DnD group or something

>>714392392
yeah they're a massive DnD brand of modern nu-nerd "safe" types and a few annoying women

the men all pretend to be epic bards and the girls all do a very common loli voice you've been hearing for 20 years that they think is groundbreaking

its all awful and they do nothing but rehashed high fantasy slop content which was already terrible

>>714387380
>good voice actors are worth their weight in gold
They really arent lol.

>>714390631
that's yuuka

>>714392931
So how did any of that mess change how people interact with games

>>714386113 (OP)
luddites

>>714393050
nta but i'd say silver at least if not gold
look me in the eye and tell me vermintide 1 and 2 would have been anywhere near as popular without the stellar writing and voicework

>>714392392
They popularized the game among normies and lesser geeky types. But they also introduced some expectations on how to play the game, instead of everyone just doing it the way they liked and could.

aren't you bored of making this exact thread over and over and over and over?

I dream of a day where I can build my very own Dragon Quest 4 Remake in Unreal Engine 5 by myself. I'm already experimenting with AI Voices and Music to see what I can do. I won't say when but when it's ready I will post a link on 4chan.

The more you use AI in making your game, the less I think you deserve to be paid for it since it means less and less talent/skill was involved, and computers don't need financial compensation.
Doesn't really apply to unpaid mods; they're free already so idc if AI is used in them.

Afghani or whatever his name is is awful. His weird voice cracks are not Mario. Crisp Rat somehow does it better

>>714389038
>pronouns

i do empathize with some voice actors if they lose roles
but these faggots always try their hardest convince me to be pro-AI

>>714386113 (OP)
Damn, I never thought I'd see the day when artists would seethe that their jobs are being taken by AI. Sucks bros, maybe learn to pick fruits or something?

Again, he's barely even a video game VA, he does fan projects mostly. He's not even in the clique he's trying to protect

>pay us
ok sure
>find someone who sounds like ranni
LOL might as well use AI if the original VA doesn't wanna do it.

>>714386113 (OP)
What does he think screeching like a deranged retard is going to accomplish?

>>714387380
>He's right though, good voice actors are worth their weight in gold
VAing is literally the worst paying job an actor can have. So it quite the opposite, actually.

>>714387169
>expensive
>bad quality
>slow
>a real worker could do this in a day and do it right
You seem to be describing programmers.

>>714386113 (OP)
Fags like these is why I embrace AI.
No, I am not going to pay for a fan project you bozzo!

>noooooooo I cannot pay you 0.01% of my guaranteed profit
>nooooooo I need to make everything look and sound like shit and I need it FAST

>>714386113 (OP)
Not with that attitude

>>714387380
good voice actors doing going to voice characters in your mod, instead you'll get some 30 year old transbian that sounds nothing like the character.
Thanks, but in this case, I'll stick with AI.

You ain't getting shit, VAs should already be replaced.

>>714387380
>good voice actors
That last good english voice actor performance I can recall is Hades from Kid Icarus.

>>714386113 (OP)
i don't want voice acting in any of my games

The voices sounded better in my head. English voice acting is absolutely abysmal.

>>714386113 (OP)
I agree with him, but his monkey typing has made me his enemy

>>714386113 (OP)
This shit is old as fuck though, and i don't think it was in the context of AI, anyway i remember there was an unbelievably petty response about what happens when you cant pay

>>714386113 (OP)
>pay money
vs
>pay less/no money

>>714387380
The last time a game had good voice acting was Deus Ex and Star Fox 64

Stop sucking cocks you faggot and make sure you pay them for the pleasure homo.

But... indie American dubbers are dogshit?
>Yeah, I would like all of the voices in my game to sound over the top and artificial
>I want all dialogues to have hardcore inflection to show that my voice actors are trying like...super hard and stuff
>look ma! I'm voice acting!

lmao, can't wait for AI. Not like I ever listen to American dub anyways.
