Isn't this game like absolutely massive? There's no way they don't have the money

The English voiceover is apparently done by an independent studio. MHY pays the studio, the studio pays the actors. Or doesn‘t, in this case.

It’s making millions and millions so yes it’s very big. One of the biggest mobile games afaik.

Definitely massive. Never played it because I assume it's too micro transaction focused but even more reason to believe they should have the cash to pay their talent

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

As someone who does actually play it - it’s only microtransaction focused if you get FOMO and like to collect all playable characters.

Usually you can guarantee a new high rarity unit once every two months or so of playing, but the real endgame is just exploring and there is no need to pay anything ever.

Only two VAs making the claim. It’s bizarre but a little strange don’t you think? Is it only these two or is something else going on

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't want to jump to conclusions in either direction but it's entirely possible that people may not be speaking out because it may upset people who could potentially choose to cast them (or not) in future roles.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Definitely possible. Also worth considering they could quadruple the pay for all their VAs and not feel it in the slightest so it’s really strange.

Did Elon buy Hoyoverse too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, Hoyoverse didn't pay, or studio didn't pay ?

Did Hoyoverse just blame studio for missing payment ?

Seeing as the studio hasn't said anything, it's not looking good for them. In this situation, you really don't want to be the last one to say anything.
