Quality focus instead of quantity, ha dog?
So…yeah, I dunno, seems like a massive waste of money and resources that could otherwise go to humans who actually craft the games we play? Maybe make their lives a lil better and give them the space and resources to make some…
I’ve said it for years now. If you want to start a voice-acting career, don’t bother.
