I've been a fan of Supergiant since their very first piece of art. The statement:

"We offer the strongest AI protections in the industry to our talent, as we think their work is irreplaceable. Our games are intentionally made by human beings; no generative AI is being used in the creation of the voiceover, artwork, or any other content that goes into them. We have not re-cast any of our characters in Hades 2, and wish to keep working with each and every member of our wonderful cast."

Is very much in-character of them (all 25 of them!), so I believe it.

I just don't understand where the confusion is coming from. Are they wrong to think they aren't subject to SAG-AFTRA contract terms, or is it Miller who got it wrong and thinks they are?? The article's author doesn't seem to know either.

Either way, the voice actor directing their followers to send emails at a tiny company is a pretty gross move. Hope they can sort it out between themselves
