I don't see any negative numbers so how are they losing money exactly?

Forgone revenue - if they hadn't announced, they'd have kept up their campaign momentum, thus money lost, although in a strict economic sense it's not considered lost money on the books. But for normies, if I had money rolling in and I did something stupid to lessen it, i'd consider myself as having lost that money.

Or, most of the money comes in early and late, and the middle is always shit on every kickstarter because that's just how it works?

If you don’t think voice actor talent matters then you’re retarded, or haven’t heard a good talent (Jeff Hays is the obvious example), or both.

Also, fuck these woke faggots and fuck Erica Ishii.

I don't think it's that voice actor talent doesn't matter. It's that I don't think anyone gives a fuck who it is enough to be mentioned,

Good for fucking you. Some people care about quality versus shit work.

This idea that quality is judged by knowing their names is laughable.

Consistently terrible takes across all sorts of topics on these forums. Usually a political idiot might have a redeeming factor in tv/movie opinions, investing, career discussions etc., or maybe someone with terrible taste in games and other media is funny elsewhere…

Nope, not him!

It works for forum post quality, why wouldn’t it work for voice acting quality?

Quality is judged by the past work they’ve done, not the fact that you don’t know their names or “don’t give a shit” about it.

Who the fuck is this faggot? Why did you have a video ready to go if you don’t care about voice actors?

Good VA matter - just compare ARR voices with post-ARR voices in FF14, or in Dawntrail the American VA vs. the UK VA - it's like night and day

Caeden · 2026-09-20T21:45:03-0400

lol. Just look at Kratos. Voice acting matters. And it’s a skill. Remember those raimi Spiderman licensed games on Xbox and Ps2? The actors sounded so fucking bored it detracted from the game.

Voice acting maybe cannot make or break a great game, but it can push a great game to an all-timer.

Now they're back pedaling and claiming she's donating her time. If that's the case, why the need to make it a stretch goal? I think this back pedal is worse than the original issue.
