BAYONETTA BOYCOTT BROUHAHA | $4000 Offers, Hellena Taylor, and Morality (VL725)
10/17/22 • 32 min
The wait for the release of Platinum Games' Bayonetta 3 is almost over, but fans supportive of the character's original English voice actor, Helena Taylor, have been called to wait forevermore.
What has Ms. Taylor asked for and why? Is a lowball contract offer really "immoral"? And what role does replacement Jennifer Hale have in all of this?
Let's discuss.
We thought Platinum cards had a higher credit line...in Virtual Legality.
