The pathetic drama returns

No, it’s not title to sequel for adventures of not greatest superhero called Pathetic Drama... which is not bad idea actually. Nope, it’s the Bayonetta 3 pathetic drama that just wouldn’t die.


The pathetic drama returns

Just few days back Hellena Taylor, voice actress, who was giving her voice to the character of Bayonetta in previous games of the series, made a huge announcement that she was mistreated by Platinum Games, developer of those games. According to her, she was offered 4,000 USD for the whole part in upcoming title and she turned that offer down. As it turned out 4,000 USD would be below union minimum pay, which is around 1,000 USD per 4-hours-long session.

According to Bloomberg Taylor was in fact offered 5 sessions, each paid 3,000 to 4,000 USD, which combined would give between 15 and 20 thousand dollars, and that would be quite decent payment. Of course there were concerns that voice actors are not paid enough, especially when they take part in (such as this one) projects that will bring millions of dollars, but that is a completely different story.

Also, according to Bloomberg, but not confirmed by other sources, Taylor turned down the offer of 5 sessions and was supposed to demand 6-figure sum and bonuses based on product performance. Taylor denies she made such demands, but so far provided no evidence to any of her claims. Nor has Platinum Games to be fair. It suppose to be maybe not common, but it happens that freelance artists are given such bonuses, which wouldn’t exactly be unheard of. And one more detail from Bloomberg article - after Taylor declined the offer Platinum Games decided to cast some other actress in her place, but offered Taylor cameo, which would take only one session and she would be paid 4,000 USD.

So was the whole thing just misunderstanding? Was it just drama about nothing? Was it serious dispute about reality of voice acting? I really don’t give a fondle anymore... Pathetic behaviour on both sides - drama queen, who demands people to boycott a game because she wasn’t offered money she wanted, and on the other hand 51-year-old executive of multi-million company, who takes it to Twitter to dispute a simple matter of legal-binding contract and ends up deleting his account. Grow the frick up!

Bayonetta 3 drama

While there are dozens of smaller and bigger dramas going on right now, from Twitch questionable ideas, TwitchCon, Phasmophobia discord, Mizkif suspicions, cheating in chess and many, many more, there is one that is so stupid that it is hard to ignore.


Aggregate scores - how is this still a thing?

If you browse through any of many websites offering users chance to vote for the games you will notice one interesting thing - even though the scale is usually between 1 and 10 it is hard to find a game that would be outside of the range between 6 and 9.


Stalker 2 just got a gameplay video... sort-of

After 3 years since the moment we first had the chance to buy Stalker 2, it seems like the game finally is reaching... a quite early stage of production. At least that is the conclusion of the newest video, which shows 12 seconds of gameplay. Or rather "gameplay"...


Gamers are weird creatures
