Yep. Let's pretend 150M of the IP worth is on gaming, 50M on movie, 300M on the pachinko. Yep I don't think the other two have anything with her (if it was also the model for the char itself and sustaining the IP on her perhaps that would justify a claim, and well if it were she would certainly be better paid or at least harder to dispose of).

Also even if the IP in gaming is worth 150M that doesn't mean she deserves more money, the subject is does the work she do is worth more than what they were offering (I do think it is), and that have more to do with level of production than revenue itself.

Agree, good point. Speaking of what u mentioned. People are expecting Bayo 3 to have more lines bcuz there's multiple Bayonettas, hence ppl r assuming it will be longer than Bayonetta 1's sessions, but we can't forget Viola (the new character). In previous games, Bayonetta was the only playable character and she was the only main character. However, this time Viola is also a playable character and looks like a lot of the plot has something to do with her. If the game is the same in length, I think the assumption that Bayo 3 has more lines for Hellena could possibly be wrong. Remember, she voiced for Bayo 1 and 2. That means the pay must have been good enough for her right? I'm starting to feel like they gave an offer less or equal to what was given for Bayo 1 and 2 (since wages are decided by the amount of work). She said that it was an insult her offer was $4k, bcuz she trained for 7 years or something. (This part doesn't even matter tbh, just because an athlete trained for 7 years for example, doesn't mean they will succeed and play for a big team. Same thing for voice actors, unfortunately what matters is the skill and worth of the actor.) But anyways, she believes it's an insult. However, the 7 years trained is presumably before Bayonetta 1 right? Or is she saying she trained 7 years in between 2014-2021 in preparation of Bayonetta 3 lol. I think the latter is unbelievable. So that means I think it's good to say she was given a decent amount for Bayonetta 1 & 2 that wasn't insulting to her. But bcuz there were less lines for Bayonetta 3, she was offered less. Just a theory.

I think the only problem (that haven't been fully answered yet) is perhaps the initial offer was much lower than even the amount she was paid for Bayoneta 1, and that sure would make her not happy and when asking for what she though she was worthy the counter propose was standard payment for regular char, and what made she go out and say was she thinking she was wronged on PG messaging. But yes no real proof given so we can't fully agree with her or PG.
