Sardines are so much better than tuna. Better tasting, better for you, better for the environment.

it's you

you are literally the demographic we worried about when all this shit turned bad

you take bad faith interpretations and push it to the maximum

and in the same breath called people insects

kamiya needs a twitter PR person as much as trump did

Why do you think Platinum wouldn't have brought people in on the weekend to deal with the issue if it were a significant threat to the game's sales? A couple hundred bucks of overtime would be made up for by 5 extra sales, which is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

At the very least, a tweet saying "Taylor's claim is inaccurate and misleading, we will provide a formal statement after consulting with our legal department to determine how best to respond" would have been 100% feasible to churn out at any time.

ive been waiting for this ever since i found out she was a terf

If she'd waited until about 2-3 days before release, this absolutely would have caused some damage, but the damage has been completely reversed by the time the game's been released. It's bizarre how stupid she's acted.

Took about an hour of refreshing,but I put in the purchase just now. Shame it caps out at 10k tho

No it's not. Arizona is fucking hot as hell 90% of the year and is filled with idiot racists with a barely grade level education who think they know everything.

With the deadline fast approaching, the Treasury Department is opening more I-bond accounts each day than it typically creates in a year, according to an agency official.

the rest of us aren't treating this like a football match where you only care about winning or losing, my guy

this was a case of poor information until the article by schreier came out, whereupon my perspective completely flipped against Taylor because that was the first truly reputable source in this entire fiasco

I find it hilarious people assuming they know how much time it takes to do something.

Any comments trying to frame it as "x per hour" don't understand the business

There's nothing wrong with Nintendo.

I mean, if there hadn't been such an outcry, nobody would have bothered digging for the truth. That this instance turned out to be decidedly less objectionable than it seemed at first glance doesn't mean things that are in fact as bad (or worse) than they seem at first glance aren't happening all over the place. I'm all for keeping corporations on the defensive as a matter of general practice, at least when it comes to matters like treating workers properly. Make them earn our trust.

4000 dollars to voice a main character for a AAA game with an established series is fucking criminal.

Not to mention the fucking TON of dialog that's in the first 2 games.

*goes platinum*

NOT SUCESSFUL

Look at it in terms of regular jobs? Sure. Look at it in terms of the entertainment industry and how much the lead roles make in other media? It's an absolute joke.

The Bayonetta franchise has grossed $450 million.

In any other medium, the actor behind the titular character would be a millionaire several times over, and quite deservedly so given that the acting behind the character is a major component of the overall style that has drawn so many people to the series. That $4000 is seen as acceptable (and more than that, an industry norm) is utterly ludicrous, as is the idea that the flagship character who has defined the series is seen as so replaceable.

The usual response to this is that it's not particularly fair to offer royalties and larger salaries to voice actors when the developers that put more work into the game don't get that, and that's very true. The mistake, however, is using that to justify keeping VA's from being properly compensated instead of using it to demand proper compensation for everyone working on the game.

There's a good chance they just wanted a bigger name and lowballed Taylor for the sake of driving her out. It's what happened with Keifer Sutherland replacing David Hayter, despite how undeniably essential Hayter's performance was for establishing Snake as a character. Studios like the idea of attaching bigger names to their products for promotional reasons, but in practice it rarely does anything to improve the product (and in many cases actually makes it worse, such as everyone's reaction to Pratt's Mario). Screen actors are not necessarily good voice actors, which is something a whole lot of people don't seem to realize despite making the same mistake and seeing the consequences repeatedly.

I don't know. Apparently she said her previous gigs for the games were like 16 hours of work. I actually thought it might be a bit more than that, but really don't know how many hours of work it takes to get the (at best, being very generous) 5 total hours of Bayonetta dialogue in a game.
If it is 16 hours, then that's $250/hr, which seems pretty fair.
And again, there's no way in hell Jennifer Hale did it for less than Taylor.
So I'm very skeptical... if the job had gone to some no-name they got for cheap, it'd be more believable

This, although even then it feels a little light.

I have to wonder if they were just trying to push Taylor out in favor of Hale (who is, to be fair, a much bigger name), but also is going to be commensurately WAY more expensive. I doubt Jennifer would even respond to an offer of $4K.

marth and roy were definitely applicable back then because global localization wasn't as big of a thing as it is now, but their popularity has since caught up for the most part

lol zoomer

1.5 mil sales of specifically XC1 pre-melee means he isn't unknown, at least, and he had DLC during the peak of Xenoblade 2's popularity

the only character that that really fits for is ness, and even then people know who he is now

Popular enough to be in Smash is popular enough.

1. LoZ: A Link to the Past
2. Xenoblade Chronicles 1/DE
3. Suikoden II
4. Radiant Historia
5. Bayonetta 1
6. Baten Kaitos Origins
7. The Legend of Dragoon
8. Age of Empires II
9. Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess
10. Tie: Samurai Warriors 2 and Hyrule Warriors DE

"Verdict is second big judgment against Infowars host over promotion of the lie that the 2012 massacre never happened"

Wait, almost a billion dollars is only the second biggest judgement?

In the comics he exponentially more powerful. Also, the Fox version of Cyclops is closer to the comic version of Wolverine. In the comics, Wolverine is frequently, sullen, dependent on alcohol and Jean Grey. There are are more instances of Cyclops whipping Wolvie into shape than the other way around.

Yes, an older pair that really doesn't seem much different than my current ones.

I never know if it's Marjorie Taylor-Greene or Magic the Gathering anymore smh

That's not really their responsibility...
