incredible. vgchartz continues to be a pox upon the sales community.There's a theory that she (or her assistant/agent) visited VGChartz, collected fake sales info, and then multiplied that number by $60

Only means IB needs more exposure. Maybe we need a catchy slogan for IB?

Only in a sheltered bubble with people earning probably less than the average/median income can you see people seriously saying that $1k per hour is insulting pay.
Why am I not surprised that the VA was beeing dishonest. I have a hard time taking anything Twitter centered around a woe is me attitude seriously

Absolutely. They just didn’t find an agreement
Love it
That aside, my secret hope is that Platinum is working on AC2, but i doubt It. Probably they are working on some live service title
gotta slap a z there

VGChartz numbers are actually lower than the real ones, so it definitely wasn't that.
The 450M$ thing is just nonsense.

This whole social media just lead to humanity losing their critical thinking and returning to the good old Witch hunting tribalism.
The fact that it is so easy to manipulate and move a huge amount of mob to harass other people just due to a single person asking them is showing how getting clout and many still hold good old bullying attitude.

I earn 10€/h (14€/h if it's holiday) as a nurse in the main Hospital of my city and I've been very salty about this whole topic these days.

Nurse, saving lives: 10 Euro per Hour
Voice-actor: 1000 Euro per Hour
The internet: LET'S USE ALL OUR ENERGY TO FIGHT FOR VOICE-ACTORS!!1
... okay, I'll stop. This is just an endlessly frustrating topic and you just know these people will not learn from this time. @Mori Medinayo Just wanna say thank you on mankind's behalf, your job is truly important <3
Well, I just checked. There are "totals" and separate numbers for each games. If you'll count everything together and then multiply it by $60, you'll have ~$475M
But Bayonetta for Steam was priced at $19,99 from the beginning (according to VGC it sold 420,000 on PC).
So "total revenue" would be like $458M. Taylor said $450M.

Just want to give my final thoughts on the fallout.
I'm still shocked that a payment depute blowup the way it did and an actress basically committed career suicide over something so petty. But I saw the red flags the moment she insulted her replacement and called the morality of people buying the game. That and it made no sense to undercut her when they went and got a vet VA and not some newcomer for a discount price. Even the 'they wanted to politely fire her, so they offered her little money'' made no sense to me since Platinum was never under any obligation to rehire her.

When do the Bayo 3 reviews come out. Those will be interesting to see.
That and Bayonetta is nowhere near worth $450 million otherwise it wouldn’t be a Nintendo exclusive in the first place.
You basically summed up my thoughts on this matter perfectly. Normally when these types of accusations show up, the person accusing is usually rather professional and discourages harassment. But attacking her replacement VA just rubbed a bad taste in my mouth.

I read they'd come on Tuesday 25th.
Depends on how the job is bid usually. Union state/federal jobs are usually around $26-$30 for union laborers and $29-$35 for union operators. I’m a field engineer and only make $34. (Plus a bunch of other jobs: inspectors, technicians, technologists, geotechs, etc)
Non union jobs pay squat and they’re usually more dangerous. They usually lack properly trained personnel too. I’ve been on some jobs for big box stores where I’m expected to do my job, the technician’s job, write an inspection report and I helped moved a bunch of stockpiled material with a loader. Awful experience.
I’d say we’re all underpaid for the work/danger we put ourselves in every day.

If they actually did something this dumb I have no words lol
That's really hard to believe.
He also thinks it's probably the end of the line for the franchise unless it massively overperforms.

I may have misread but I took that as meaning the last Bayo-starring entry.
Based on the controversy or on sales alone? Either way that's just one man's opinion.

Bloomberg: A Tense Pay Dispute Overshadows Nintendo’s Upcoming Bayonetta 3 [UPDATE: Taylor confirms Bloomberg's reporting to be accurate]
It wouldn't launder their image. It would look like a big company going after an individual person, which is what it is. The right and wrong of it would not be conveyed to the mass audience. At this point the only thing to do from a PR perspective is release the game and never talk about any of...

I thought it was some insider info but that's just his opinion. Nothing really relevant I think.Bloomberg: A Tense Pay Dispute Overshadows Nintendo’s Upcoming Bayonetta 3 [UPDATE: Taylor confirms Bloomberg's reporting to be accurate]

People really think that Insiders have a hotline to Furukawa and would know how the higher ups at NCL feel about a partnership they have been nurturing for over a decade just because some US Twitter moment.
No one would take NCL serious if they would overreact and make business decision under such circumstances.
You don't need to be an insider to know that the performance of B3 will have an impact on how Nintendo is gonna engage with the series in the future, but that's common sense and based on previews it seems that Platinum showed up and delivered.

Let alone travel this fast outside of NCL, even IF this was the case.
B3 isnt even out, people continue to make this thing bigger than it actually was.
Edit: nvm this was already discussed.

No, this is the result of "broken phone", the initial theory was that she added up all numbers displayed in VGChartz (so totals together with every sort of breakdown displayed...). That does add up a little over 450 million when multiplied by $60... And yes that would be really dumb but actually possible.
Yeah, the issue is that the pricing in most cases is way lower. For example you get both Bayonetta 1 and 2 for $60 on Switch.
@Sagitario
I think dialing back marketing after this is a good way to reduce marketing costs, since Taylor gave the game some massive free marketing.
I don't think it was the kind of marketing they would want, tho

On a bright note, a vid about the article is now the most viewed Bayo 3 vid on YT with over 3 million views, so the word is getting out there at least thankfully:
Edit: And they're back tweeting!

I didn't expect Charlie's correction video to have double the views of his initial coverage of the drama. Most other coverage has the latest updates receiving significantly less traction than the original, so it's great that Charlie is overturning that trend.
Platinum posted a message. Naturally there's people in the replies who still want this "fight" to go on.

Good response IMO, and wonderful to see them give Jennifer much needed support.
