Henry Schrader:
So, to anyone who doesn’t know, Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it. More info in the thread. Please share to other VAs.
HiRez being scummy? Well I never, thats not like them at all…
Yeah, the could release the best game ever made and I’d still avoid it.
Tribes… thats all I need to say
Cool. Now I really want to play Smite. If only it were available without DRM.
They are scammers who do not comply with the law, these unethical practices are minor things to them.
This is the most on-brand and least surprising post I’ve seen today.
Is there a provision for paying the actor’s family a performance fee each time he or she performs in a synthetic voice after his or her death?
