Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

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.

[–] nero@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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

[–] yaycupcake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 years 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.

[–] Chriszz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years 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?

[–] hahattpro@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Did Hoyoverse just blame studio for missing payment ?

[–] Chailles@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.
