There has been new revelations in the recent pay dispute between PlatinumGames, the studio behind video game series Bayonetta and its voice actor, Hellena Taylor.
Taylor recently accused PlatinumGames of offering a total of $4,000 to reprise her role. After rejecting the “lowball” offer, she urged players to boycott the game.
However, PlatinumGames allegedly sought to hire Taylor for at least five sessions, paying $3,000 to $4,000 for each session, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
That would make it at least $15,000 in total, but Taylor asked for a six-figure sum. PlatinumGames declined and started looking for a new voice actor.
In an email, Taylor described this account as “an absolute lie” and accused PlatinumGames for “trying to save their ass and the game.”
