To all #hoyoverse fans,
Due to SO MUCH MISINFO, with the small help of a reliable yet confidential source, I've made a thread that clears things up & advises what you can do to help out the VAs! (1/2)

This is what I've been quiet about. I'm not SAG but what game companies want to do with AI is an existential threat. I took a personal stand to ask for protection, and had to be willing to give up the best thing that's ever happened in my professional life. I stand by my choice.

[yaoi coded lesbian @hikage_toma]

this is so upsetting actually bc his. (sad voice) Old Va did such a good job it was part of the reason why ppl liked lycaon....

[Mizu @local_Grimlin]

Basically, Hoyoverse are gonna cover up the fact that they want to put more AI in their games as they clearly don't want to sign their games under interim agreements (AI voice acting protections)

[bim opera o @bimmmingham]

wtf i actually liked him as lycaon what's going on

[Mizu @local_Grimlin]

@moonmilktea01 @Rubberduckiefae Hoyoverse can hire a signatory to sign zzz under an interim agreement but have clearly chosen to not do so, considering they have hired a recording studio recently that has a signatory that can sign a game of theirs under an interim agreement.

[Mizu @local_Grimlin]

@moonmilktea01 @Rubberduckiefae Hi, I've been talking to other VAs that are on the Video Games Strike and keep up to date with what Game Performers Matters, and this is to do with the publisher's (Hoyoverse) not the recording studio.

[a @Rubberduckiefae]

Now this is sus.... especially since Lycaon didn't have an English VO for quite some time now, so I just assumed, he's not available but now this? Wow. I'm disappointed,hoyo.

[Mizu @local_Grimlin]

That is basically it. This recast is basically hoyoverse's response to their stance on AI in games at this point

This is giving apex legend AI French voice actors

I swear HOYO you dirty ass

[Naedix @Naedix]

i dont even play zzz and this fucking sucks

[evil winter @jiroveci]

ZZZ VA studio is a huge mess.
First we changed Soukaku and Lucy, and now after months of Lycaon losing his voice like Ariel from the little mermaid, we come back to this lol

[ChocoBerryVanillaCake🩷 @ChocoberryC]

*sees the next patch and hears Lycaon's voice* YES HE'S BACK! *it's a new voice actor* Huh? *sees the original VA of Lycaon was not informed of his replacement and is also confused* HOYO ARE YOU LITERALLY PULLING A GLITCH STUDIOS RIGHT NOW?!?!?!

[Mizu @local_Grimlin]

Thats what hoyoverse and other gaming publishers who refuse to sign any interim agreements want to do: recast those who are fighting for AI protections within voice acting.

And they expect fans not to notice.

[River :3 @Riversedging]

So they better keep the replacement under lock n key if they dont want that poor guy absolutely demolished.

And absolutely need to clarify why the fuck there was no communication because this is insane levels of unprofessional miscommunication

[Lugz @Lugzx]

please @HoYoLAB_Mimo get this man in there! it's really ruining my gaming experience to not have someone voicing his voice lines.

[TeratoJaron🐯🦊 @TeratoJaron]

Garbage fucking company tbh happy to have uninstalled and never wasted a cent 🙂‍↕️

[Mizu @local_Grimlin]

@moonmilktea01 @Lunarkinesis Thing is, it's Hoyoverse not signing ZZZ under an interim agreement which grants proper protections for AI in voice acting.

[Mizu @local_Grimlin]

@Indom987 It's definitely hoyoverse. Please, my pinned has all the information regarding who has the ability to fix this and who to contact. Ppl have been so rude to me over what I've been saying for months regarding all of this and now look what happened.

[Mizu @local_Grimlin]

Because they won't sign for US protections against AI. That's the short answer of it
