Henry Schrader:So, to anyone who doesn’t know, Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it. More info in the thread. Please share to other VAs.
They already refuse to fix their EAC so that the game can run on Linux so I can’t not play their game any more than I already do. I played Paladins briefly when Overwatch was having its China drama and enjoyed it, but I’m done booting Windows to play games.
This is what happens when everything on the planet is run by suits who are incapable of seeing anything but the bottom line. Exploit the creatives until they can be replaced by shitty robots that don’t do the job half as well but are cheaper to use.
Our dumb cyberpunk future is now.
So sad these guys own the Tribes IP
It sucks that I can’t boycott their garbage anymore than I already do.
Torrent and share their games to affect their bottom line.
They are online only games and free. So there’s no piracy you can really pull.
Torrenting their free-to-play games?
