TopicBayonetta's VA not reprising her role in 3 because she was only offered $4k

From what I've heard, it's insultingly low (especially the first offer, which was below $4k; she only got the $4k offer after directly messaging Hideki Kamiya). The franchise has made $450m not counting merch, and English Bayonetta is apparently one of the few roles that weebs will actually turn English subs back on for because she nails it.

Shit varies a lot though. Like: https://twitter.com/sonicmega/status/1581330480179208192

Video game voice actors are absolutely underpaid. Bayonetta's VA noted in one of her videos today that she just can't afford a car at current rates. It's hard to exactly gauge how underpaid they are, because wage discussions are often covered by NDA's.... which Bayonetta's VA is ignoring because she does not have enough money to be worth prosecuting lol.

By hour they're certainly paid a lot, but they comparatively don't have a stable source of income unless you're Tara Strong or JYB or... Jennifer Hale, the new Bayonetta. Honestly, JP->NA entertainment looks like an objectively shit umbrella to be under. Translators- even popular ones- usually get paid near minimum wage. Crunchy has had a lot of drama recently for how horrifically they pay their TLs.
