Two months after losing one of his original voices, Genshin Impact could now be about to say goodbye to another of his emblematic doubts.
Since its launch at the start of the 2020 school year, Genshin Impact Continue to delight millions of players around the world. Regularly updated by its creators, Mihoyo, the title continues to welcome new content over time, some of which purely free. But while the version 5.8 of the gameit would seem that the studio is in a complicated pass. Because after recently lost Kinich’s original actor, John Patneaude, the actress behind Paimon would also prepare to slam the door.
Another change of voice approaching for human impact?
Embodied by Corina Boettger in her English version, the adorable companion who accompanies the player in human impact could indeed change his voice soon if we believe the actress. “After John was replaced, I told Hoyo that I would no longer embody Paimon until they are union, so they are probably going to replace me”she quipped at the microphone of Paperbag Boy. And if it seems naturally to laugh yellow, it is because this story actually hides much more than we could imagine.
Indeed, the departure of John Patneaude, now replaced by Jacob Takanashi, was experienced as “The drop of water that made the vase overflow” For Boettger. Because beyond that, the actress also denounces and above all the fact that Hoyo multiplies the breaks of contracts for the doublers of human impact. “I told Hoyo that I would not come back to record as long as they have not signed the interim agreement of SAG, because I still and again had to face the termination of my contract because they did not pay me in time”she explains on Bluesky.
“I wait an average of 3 to 5 months to receive my salary”she then continues, specifying that it is normally stipulated in the contract that the salary must be received within thirty days of the mission. “This is why contracts mean nothing if the game is not unionized, because contracts are not applicable without union. […] This is why we need SAG. Because without the SAG, these companies know that we do not have the money to hang around them because most of us, including me, already live from one salary to another ”.
A situation that divides players
For some members of the peoplehin impact community, the position of Boettger is nevertheless perceived as a reversal of jacket on the part of the actress. Because while the SAG, which is a strike to protect professionals in the entertainment industry by demanding an improvement in their working conditions and protection against their replacement by AI, has been raging for months, this has not prevented the latter from continuing to work rather than supporting the cause.
Consequently, it cannot be said that the possibility of his departure is necessarily perceived as a problem for part of the community. Because if some obviously manifest their disappointment as to the potential disappearance of this voice which accompanies them from the start, others, on the contrary, already have fun looking that could be the ideal replacement to embody Paimon. But for the time being, do not pack either, because things could very quickly evolve according to Hoyo’s response to Boettger claims.
