I'm not sure you're aware of this but having a long hiatus doesn't suddenly mean she can't ever get VA work again. Again, the reason for her believability (as compared to someone like Heard) is the incentives lean towards just being quiet versus speaking out. Like I and another poster said, her rather quick response to Platinum's supposed "scheduling conflicts" lie also helps to substantiate her claims. I don't know why you're getting into the weeds about her professionalism or lack thereof. I'm not worshipping the ground she walks on, nor do I see a moral case to boycott Bayo 3 over this. I also agree with that impulse to get more info before coming up with a 'final stance' on the matter. What I was focusing on was the increased & immediate believability of her case versus say... a #metoo allegation of a politician right before an election. |
Yeah I know, but u would assume VA is not her main job if she hasn't done any major work since the last Bayonetta. Also I'm not sure what ur saying with Heard here, but I just compared it to Heard as in, don't form an opinion before knowing both side's perspective or unless you've seen what happened in person. I'm not talking about the context of Amber Heard. About the "lie" from Platinum, it's not like the "lie" was immoral by any means, it was just an answer to avoid a situation, which ironically caused one lol. That interview was also through texts, how do we know there wasn't any translation error or miscommunication. It just sounds like Hellena is doing this as a revenge bcuz she wasn't worth much to them. That is sad in multiple ways, as in I feel bad for her, I feel sad being reminded about the reality of this world, and I feel sad she took this action, I feel bad for Platinum bcuz they have to deal with this now. It's a perfect balance of those emotions from me.
Since I don't know her really well, I have to assume she is doing actress as a profession according to the internet. If you decided to be a professional of something, you are going in there with full understanding and resolution towards the reality of those jobs. It's not like Platinum didn't pay her, it was an offer that is completely normal in that industry whether we agree with it or not. What Platinum did wasn't some nasty crime. Like she said, it was completely legal, but she thinks she deserved more bcuz she thinks Bayonetta is some huge franchise. That bugs me the wrong way, Bayonetta was never big, always niche probs barely making profits, it had its struggles and she's trying to make it worse. How does that help. Do you think Platinum Games is profiting huge from this like she claims? Or Nintendo? Sega? No, and it's very possible that they're even losing money with this franchise. And that's the reality. I understand if we're talking about like Call of Duty, Pokemon, Genshin Impact, some mobile games with huge profit. We always see the people succeeding, whether it be athletes, content creators, or anything else, but in reality a vast majority are struggling to pay their rent. This is how this world functions, this is the meaning of "survival of the fittest". Soft, very soft and naive mindset. Now, I would say Platinum should've at least gave an option for residues/royalties. If Bayo 3 is that successful entry the series desperately needed, both sides could have ended being happy smh. Waiting for Platinum's response if they even will.
