Sounds like a great way to drive up the prices of video games.

Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba were great in Cyberpunk. I'm sure I'm forgetting other celeb appearances, but those two were awesome.
points really hard at Keith David
Legend has it of you open the doors to a voice acting studio Keith David materializes
He is the Samuel Jackson of voice acting after all.
Mark Hamill in the wing commanders
Pretty much half the VO cast for New Vegas are or were big names in TV and film.
Tho that’s where the off the top of my head list ends
What in the goddamn!?
RIP Matthew Perry
If you watch the BTS stuff you’ll hear Zachary Levi talk about making it abundantly clear he made it to ‘the powers that be’ that he loved games and the fallout series in particular.
Yes they were great, I loved the game and their acting in it...but Idris Elba's accent in cyberpunk, not so much.
Surely they could have written it so he could use his own accent.
Grimes was also in Cyberpunk, and it was abundantly clear that she's not an actor.
I think this can go either way. Some actors have done a lot of voice work and it shows, and others have a much more wooden performance than what you'd get from them if they were on a movie or tv show instead. Peter Dinklage voiced Ghost in Destiny 2 and was so poorly received that Bungie hired Nolan North to rerecord all the existing lines and voice the character going forward.
Robbing us of the excellent fan name "Dinklebot."
Great. Can’t wait for the inevitable layoffs because “games are too expensive” to make.
