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.

Haven't played for a couple of years now, but honestly loved Paladins and Smite appealed to me in concept (never really had enough time to spare to learn how to play MOBA). While the communities and creatives in and around the games are awesome, it's been known that the higher-ups and some of the management are extremely shitty forever. It's one of the reasons why the games didn't get the attention they deserve, why the promising esports scenes around them are dead etc. Not surprised, but still sad they've decided to fuck over the VAs like that and shoot themselves in the foot once again in terms of reputation
