Asked about SAG-AFTRA's strike for better AI protections, Amazon Games Boss claims AI 'has nothing to do with taking work away' from actors because 'for games, we don't really have acting'

So the guy in charge of Amazon's video games doesn't understand video games. Sounds about right. I was already skeptical of what they could pull off after the New World fiasco. I don't think we'll be seeing anything other than the video game version of Amazon's stolen and enshitified products
Mind filling me in on the fiasco? I'm pretty sure I played the game somewhat early on and didn't hear anything
The game was very bugged and did plenty of rollbacks too, not a thing MMO players enjoy having their progress erased, also plenty of exploits on a PvP focused endgame like a guild could just report every player on the other side and they would be auto-kicked from the game. Also the game was very light on content precisely because they pivoted from hardcore PvP to a more PvE friendly thing in the middle of development, pleasing almost no one from either side.
Aha, so voice acting and mocap don't count, got it!
Well, then there shouldn't be any hesitation about signing up for the better protections for the actors then.
And voice work is so fast, it can't be much.
In the same way that modern movies don't have CGI I assume?
No wonder they can't put out nothing but turds, even while bringing other people's games they have the reverse midas touch where an MMO that is a chart topper in Korea (Lost Ark), ahead of both WoW and XIV, is just chugging along at the back here.
