Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be

I don't really think of it that way.
Instead, more like:
- If there's no voice, noone got paid
- If there is a voice, someone got paid x (> 0) amount
- And if the offered amount was lower than what the VA would expect ^[or if the license terms were unfavourable, like a multi-series license or such], then the dev won't get the license
Also, in the above condition, the VA only needs to make the TTS package once (then maybe a few upgrades if the standard gets updated) and gets to reuse it for multiple licenses.
