    Makes sense. No need to burn bridges or salt the wound.

    Maybe Eidos would love to get another Deus ex out there but there’s no publisher interest. Passionate game developers still need financial backing to pay rent and put food on the table.

    And honestly silence is the best policy here. They probably want to stop him from fucking up before he ends up like voice actor who played Niko Bellick and say something that pisses off their parent publishers.

        Exactly. If companies didn’t want their workers and their customers to say stuff and make conjectures on their behalf, then they should communicate about it.

      Yeah, the way he talks about it does not help the chances of a new game with. I can understand the frustration of an artist that is popular worldwide, while sometimes living paycheck to paycheck doing small roles. Still, maybe he should discuss with his agent how to share his views with the press in a more positive way, to avoid biting the hand that might feed him again in the future.

    Given some of the fair-use-adjacent fan work the Team Fortress voice actors have done, I sometimes wish there were more fictional characters out there that actors had the rights to represent as outside of media.

    I recall interviews where the guy who does Dr Eggman just politely refused simple fun requests because they wouldn’t be approved by Sega, which is too bad.

      The only example I can think of where that has happened would be Ryan Reynolds & Deadpool. Iirc he kinda just stole the costume after the 1st movie wrapped filming
