I understand how she feels & I ain't purchasing it. :manny: Gaming/Animation is very quick to exploit hard working people. One of the homies does VA work got paid 150$ and that movie did millions.

After the Dame Dash interview, everybody think they deserve equity :mjlol:

4g for like 40 hours of work is $100 an hour

She's recording voice lines, not going on promo tours and marketing the game

The fact that she was so easily replaces speaks more about the fact the VA's aren't united and actually are easily replaced

What's messed up is the popular actress they replaced her with we all know likely got paid way more. They could have saved money more than likely just giving her a fair wage. Also this backlash is gonna cost them sales.

He speaks in Wind Waker.
Not really. He speaks just as much as he does in the other games meaning combat grunts.

“Come on” is the most he’s ever spoke in the series.

4k is definitely low considering how much the game's made, the experience she has & the fact she was the day one voice actor which contributed to the success of the franchise

"Experienced video game voice actors will receive $200 to $350 an hour or $50 to $200 per 100 words for their video game voice acting work. Novice voice actors earn between $1 and $5 per 100 words. Video game voice actors are also eligible for bonuses up to $2,100. Video game voice acting is an emerging market"


She definitely has a right to feel some type of way

This just shows the difference between being frugal and being cheap. Nintendo and Platinum were cheap here. This decision will cost them more money then they would have lost just paying her. They could have probably paid her $100K and still came out ahead because the fanbase is going to revolt on them now. and they will lose some sales they would have otherwise got.
