How did he dood all dis acting and don't get paid?

How is that even legal?

>>714490357 (OP)
Yeah, RIP.

I don't give a shit. Voice actors will find work elsewhere.

I don't care.

They got paid to read the line. This is another case of voice actors thinking they are worth more then a LOW hourly rate.

>>714490509
Why are you simping for some guy just because he did the voice for funny haha “nebber wanted dis” cyborg man? That’s fucking pathetic. He wasn’t even from the good Deus Ex games.

>>714490357 (OP)
Isn't this normal in acting? Plenty of actors do a pilot that never gets picked up or get 1 season of a show that ends up being cancelled

>>714490509
I hate voice actors and their unwarranted sense of self-importance in general, not him specifically.

Is he complaining that he wasn't paid for past recordings, or that he won't get royalties.
I couldn't give less of a fuck for the latter.

>>714490685
Yes. Typical of acting roles, you get paid a percentage of the profits in the way of royalties. If the game doesn't release, you don't get paid.

>>714490908

>>714490849
Tons of children playing, retard

>>714490357 (OP)
Shouldn't he have already gotten paid for his time? Was he relying on post-release royalties or something?

>>714490705
I've always wondered if anyone is actually turned on by all that "porn" people make in Roblox and Minecraft for some reason.

>>714490989
Voice actors typically dont get royalties from games. It was one of the things they were striking for and never got.

>>714490357 (OP)

Pretty sure he's referring to work that hadn't been done yet but was scheduled.

>>714490357 (OP)
He didn't ask for this.

>>714490509
You mean the guy who played the gay cowboy in starfield? lol

He didn't do any work retards, he was scheduled for x days of voicework and counted that as money in his pocket before it actually happened. Anyway high profile VAs have it much better than the thousands of rank and file devs that have been laid off, this guy will keep getting work guaranteed but most of those devs will have to look outside the industry or outside of the field entirely if they want to eat.

>>714491043
Pubescent kids do, they have yet to develop any taste and get off to basically anything

>>714490509
Nigger just because there's a few epic maymays about Jensen doesn't mean /v/ has to suck the voice actor's cock over literally everything they say. Who the fuck are you even calling newfag? Jensen's voice actor has never been recognized or cared about that much here to my knowledge, JC's voice actor is more talked about than him, what the actual fuck are you going on about?

>>714490509
I only remember him from that guy who do gundam colony drop on battletech video game. Got a whiplash when I hear him again in mechwarrior 5 as the dude who oppose comstar at their peak of their power.

>>714491043
ofc they are, who do you think finds all that retarded minecraft porn attractive

>>714490357 (OP)
Interesting that he doesn't get paid for his work.
You think that they would have to pay him regardless of them actually using his work since they had him actually do it.

I'm not laughing, I'm not responding at all because I simply could not give a fuck. I don't owe these people anything, they are the creators of a product I sometimes consume. That's the only relationship these people and I have.

Also sounds like Elias and his fellow employees should make a better agreement with their employers. If you agree to work on terms that are this stupid, then you need to ask yourself what you are doing. Where I live I don't know a single person that doesn't get paid for having done work.

>>714490357 (OP)
Well no, he got paid for his work so far but since all voice actors are contractors he can't count on the gig being an ongoing arrangement. And i think that is literally what he did. Maybe he even turned down other offers to work on Perfect Dark.

Everybody gets paid what they're worth. That's how getting paid to work for someone else works. If they think they're worth more, they should quit and go work for the person that is willing to pay that amount.

>>714490357 (OP)
Surely you get paid for your time and then the game either comes out or doesn't. Unless you took residuals as payment why would you miss out on getting paid?

>>714491043
Yes
They do
Its because of the simplicity and how easy it is to make robloxians "thick" and "sexy" or just going around looking for degenerate discord servers where they can request nsfw art of their character getting raped by 3 endermen

>>714491001
This isn't "society", this is the entertainment industry. Projects get cancelled all the time.
And I find hard to believe they were stupid enough to sign a contract that says "you will work for free for the next five years and only get paid if we sell one gorillion copies".

Why would he lie?

>>714490509
I don't care.

>>714490357 (OP)
Oh no. He won't get royalties from a cancelled game, he clearly can't go looking for other projects to get paid tens of thousands for a few days of work while actual devs waste years only to get unpaid and jobless. Cry me a fucking river

1. I don't care.
2. Okay, I kinda care. He can't possibly be so stupid that he's gonna go hungry or not be able to pay hills bills or whatever because he won't be getting... royalties(?) Like what the fuck is he talking about. Was this his only egg in the only basket he had?

>>714490685
He was booked in for days of "work", it got canned before he actually did it

>>714492983
He isn't saying he's destitute. He's saying that this hurt him and that he hopes it doesn't keep happening. What the fuck is wrong with you retards?

>act for four hours
>get paid for that
>also expect to get paid royalties for each sale
>meanwhile the one white dev is sinking 300 hours a month unfucking Jeet AI code from co-workers to make the product even in a shippable state, gets laid off the second the product releases

Wait... they don't get paid till AFTER the game comes out? As an amateur actor I've never fucking had this happen but I guess I've only ever done s gigs.

>>714490509
*IF* we liked any voice actor from Human Revolution it was probably only the banana fly conspiracy guy that literally went insane.
Adam's VA was good, whatever, but I don't care.

He was just counting chickens before they hatched

>>714490357 (OP)
Ironically, when the company that owns Futurama for the 25th reboot balked at paying Bender's VA the fan community successfully bullied the corpo into paying him. He gets paid 2000x what fly by nighters like this Elias get paid. I guess the moral of the story is "get good."

>>714494314
He's full of shit. Of course he got paid, or will be paid, for whatever work he's done. He's just seething that apparently he was expecting more work. I guess he can't have many work offers lined up.

Voice actors and supporting staff should never, ever get royalties. So fucking crazy. They should be given a Snickers bar from the office vending machine as a tip for their hard work.

Also they basically got nothing from that strike. Total failure by the union for striking for nearly a year.

Total VA death. The shittiest and most useless and overglazed job in the entire industry unironically. Even HR and DEI consultants/Sweet Baby hires are more useful.

What? Did your mother get raped by a voice actor? What the fuck is going on?

>>714490685
Yes, for example, if I said I'd pay you $10 a day
to suck my dick daily for a month, with a $100 bonus at the end, then cancelled after 5 days then all you would get was $50 instead of the $400 you were expecting.

That retard is conflating Adam Jensen's voice actor with Indian immigrants. This is what happens when you get severe /pol/ exposure while not being mentally prepared to handle it.

>>714493918
Or you just turn on JP voices where the industry isn't fucking cancer.

>>714490357 (OP)
voice acting is great, but honestly to get take a position against AI voicing is really fucking dumb. You want to protect a tiny clique of unionized workers who mafia their way around the industry for what? Because you heard their voices before and its familiar?

Modders are the ones who will bring the AI voice overs to the mainstream, people are using them now, and soon enough they will come to expect full voice acted mods (quests and character interactions)
There are countless use cases for this that dont require me to rely on other peoples talents. A lot of you guys seem to think that people are required to rely on other people when pursuing projects they created.
For example, take one band musicians. Dudes who are so talented they go out of their way to play every instrument for their band, and tie it all together to create a song. Alot of these guys rely on synthesizers because its not feasible to master every instrument to fulfill your vision.

When it comes to games, yes if you have a studio and a treasure chest to pay out for a proper game release, you should try to get organic actors for your game because the presentation requires something polished. Voice AI will get to the level of the synthesizer soon enough and i encourage people to use AI voices for their projects as long as its not ripping off anyones real voice talent.

Maybe make a GOOD game that doesn't have an overblown budget and actually produces things on a timely basis and you won't have a project get cancelled? I actually randomly thought about Perfect Dark today, remembered that a remake was announced and then laughed to myself about it being cancelled. Fucking deserved, don't touch Joanna Dark bitches.

I hate them. I hate them all. Fuck each and every voice actor. I would deal with the enshittification of all voice acting in any game if it meant that video game voice actors in particular suffered

It's not about getting good games for me anymore, that's not happening regardless. I want spite.

Deus Ex has always sucked except for Human Revolution. Children like you made it into some kind of mythical "oldfag" game.

>>714495561
>muh pooojeeeeter!
Its very relevant. Most of the user base are contrarian freaks who need to hate anything that could embarrass them by association because they actually really really do care about their self image even though they claim they dont care what others think.
Besides, if the company in the OP just waited until the game was complete before calling in their voice actors, no one would be upset. Using AI voice to fill in the for the real actors would have kept things going without having to pull in resources for a section of development that they obviously were not sure they would get to.

If you don't want your games cancelled then stop getting involved with big publishers.

>>714490509
>Nu-/v/ is so /pol/brained that they hate Adam Jensen's voice actor now
When HR released everyone took the piss out of it for having voice acting as bad as the original game, dumbed down gameplay/leveldesign, and the piss-filter making the whole game look dumb as hell
What sort of dipshit contrarian revisionism is this?
HR is known for "SHIEETTT CAP'N JENSEN!" niggress and "I NEVVA ASKED FOR DIS" memes, and nothing else.
