@OGAdoptedFatty@pixlfar But even so, i think its valid to be a fan of a game you didnt play. Extending the argument to other things would show how absurd it sounds. I can enjoy a sport without playing it, I can enjoy watching videos about medicine without practicing it. why doesnt this count for games?
@OGAdoptedFatty@pixlfar These games require no skill or interaction unironically. its literally a press attack button and win simulator lmao. the only thing ur missing out on is playing the combat urself or whatever
@OGAdoptedFatty@pixlfar Iโd argue there are many games that are completely watchable, like telltale games or LiS. I loved those games as a kid and onlt got to play them years later. same immersion for me at least
@amorselofsal companies that IPOโs stock usually goes down significantly after the initial portion of time, figma is an example of that. on average tech companies that IPO fall 53% after a year iirc
@OGAdoptedFatty I think if the artists were okay with it it shows that the artistic integrity is fine. The first people to complain are the people who are actually working on this, through unionization or whatever. Thereโs a reason they didnโt.
@OGAdoptedFatty Talk is cheap, this is the solution they found. If they did this in 2022 you wouldnโt have an issue with this. It feels like youโre generalizing to hate any form of AI when this specific use is completely moral and ethical.
@OGAdoptedFatty They get paid regardless, they license their voice for the AI usage. its more practical to do it this way rather than get VAs to come down to record every time you add 10 items to the game. The VAs are paid, and the process is efficient. Thereโs nothing unethical about it
@OGAdoptedFatty For a small studio (according to them) it was either to do callouts in this way or not have callouts at all. Getting VAs to record like thousands of lines (probably maybe in the 10ks) isnโt practical or even feasable
@OGAdoptedFatty Its literally just TTS for random callouts in the game, not for real continuous dialogue. The idea was that they have many permutations of items and callouts so it would be impossible to record all of them. it isnt all TTS, the real dialogue is just recorded by the same VAs
