Céline Dion is a man?

TODD ON SUICIDE WATCH

>sell the rights to the song to a game company
>they use it to advertise a game
WOOOOOOOW I WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THEY'D DO THAT?

If they had legal license to use the song then the suit has no legs. Some band tried to sue Fox News once because they objected to them playing a clip of their song during a break transition, but the suit was without merit since Fox had legal right to use the song through a contract with the record label.

You don't get to sue someone just because they used a song of yours and you don't like it even though they paid for the license to use it. If you want full control of your music then don't sign a contract with a record label, simple as that.

JUST

>be the faggot who did the voice of niko for gta 4
>get paid $100,000 at a higher premium than other people in the VA guild
>find out gta4 made a fuck ton of money
>HURRR DEY OWE ME MO' 40 ACRES N MO' MULES!

>Where violence is glorified as sport
I was about to disagree with this and then i remembered that there's actually two places in Fallout 4 where violence is a sport.

The problem was that Dion was expecting New Vegas 2.0 but instead found out Fallout 4 was a shooter.

these faggots are just looking for money at this point

Guild voice actors think they are the video game equivalent of movie stars. They think they are the star attraction and the reason people buy the games, so they think they deserve a portion of the profits.

In reality no-one cares who is voicing a character, at least not enough for it to have any influence on purchasing the game. This was proven with Metal Gear Solid V. David Hayter played Snake for like 15 years and was unceremoniously fired, but so far as anyone can tell it had little to no impact on MGSV's sales. There's no such thing as a video game star vehicle, like a movie where they write it with the intention of casting George Clooney because they know that it's going to get a bunch of 40 year old single moms into the theater.

Video game voice actors are largely disposable because voices are and never have been the star attraction of video games. They are but one element of many that goes into creating a game, and they are one of the less consequential.

>According to the suit, DiMucci entered an agreement via UMG Recordings to license the song for the “Fallout 4” commercials.
>However, the suit says, under the agreement DiMucci had the right to separately bargain with ZeniMax for a better rate
>ZeniMax failed to separately bargain with DiMucci

So it's another case of a has-been finds out a game made a lot of money and suddenly they want more than what they signed a contract for.

If this makes it to a court with a judge who's head isn't up his ass, they would look at the records, find that DiMucci signed off permission to use his music in commercials knowing full well that the game was about a post-apocalyptic violent future, therefore the idea that he's offended that his music was used in a post-apocalyptic violent future is laughable at best, Jewish at worst.

If this jackass wanted another paycheck for work he did half a century ago, he should have just contacted ZeniMax and offered anything in his catalog for their next game/DLC.

Not in Japan. VAs in Japan are equivalent to Hollywood movie stars.

they usually include a clause concerning what the song can and cannot be used for.
the tribunal will decide

New Vegas had implied rape, slavery and torture though.

>had the right
>not the obligation

Retard is wasting his money trying to shake Jews down.

>Implied
Josh "Rape is as natural as it gets" Sawyer clearly stated there was plenty of rape in the game.

Women like rape, Bernie Sanders says so.

Good VAs in Japan get paid a lot.

>implied
>implying

The scenario I had in mind was at the beginning when you find the caravaners who were attacked by Powder Gangers. All the dead males are fully clothed still, while the female is naked. Obviously the Legion probably has a fuckload of rape though.

I'm aware.
I remember seeing that one picture with comparison how a good VA earns literally not 10, not 100 but 500 times more than average animator monkey.

Cook Cook is a confirmed rapist and you get to talk to one of his victims

I think that particular one was just coincidence, at least I remember reading Sawyer's own reply to someone.

The record label owns the rights to the song, not him personally.
Assuming Bethesda had a contract with the record label, this suit will be thrown out on summary judgment.

Dion DiMucci the Doo Wop star, not that French Canadian hag.

Kiefer was honestly a really good Boss.

nothing makes me more mad than some faggot old fuck musician getting a piece of their's into a movie, TV show, or game and then complaining about it. This sort of thing would be enough to let most musicians eat for years, so it's just utterly disrespectful to act like this.

Serves Bethesda right for having some of the worst music selection for in-game radio ever though, I guess.

>baby's first legal advice
Contracts have clauses, morons. It may or may not violate a clause. This happens all the time and is always down to interpretation.

>Republican gets elected to anything
>band says they don't want their songs to be played
>play them anyways because the band sold the rights to label companies
Everytime

Im actually trying to play any M rated game where the characters also voiced characters from shows I watched as a child

No, even famous VAs in Japan don't get paid a lot, or at least, not for actual voice acting.

VA salaries are strictly determined by a system that cares more about seniority than fame. Every rich VA gets their money from alternative income streams outside of actual voice acting like music concerts, album sales, live guest appearances and the like. This is why tiny budget productions can still afford to hire the most famous VA in the industry.

oh yeah, and as usual with 50s/60s musicians, Dion DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING WRITE THE SONG

hack.

What does any of that have to do with Fallout 4 being a shooter?

Japanese VAs are also actually good.

If anything Beth/Zeni would've included a clause on every and all intended usages of the song including trailers.

>voices are and never have been the star attraction of video games

*blocks your free will*

>implied
what?

is this just some old fuck who nobody knows anymore just trying to score a buck or what

Dude is still alive? Impressive.

japanese vas are always cringy, like all japanese acting

old cunt knows he's gonna die soon so he has to get some money for his kids cause he ain't got jack shit left. too bad he ain't getting a single cent from toddy boy.

Hipster detected.

NANI?!? BAKA YAMATEEEEEE!

He doesn't give a fuck about the game's content, he just wants more money like every other has been musician who comes out of the woodwork to sue, It's a contract dispute, he's trying to negotiate for more money because Zenimax didn't separately negotiate with him, and is usuing the game's content as leverage.

>“Alternately, he could have priced into his fee adequate compensation to safeguard himself against the potential loss of goodwill from being associated with the immoral images in Defendant’s scripts,” the suit adds.
This quote tells you everything you need to know.
>This game is so offensive? I might forgive the offensive content if you pay me more though.

Seeing all these pussys bitch about money when I'm working way harder jobs then them for lesser pay is bullshit.

>muh voice was strained boohoo
>hours of work for thousands of dollars when average americans make minimum wage

Fuck them and their fans with their gay little petitions. Alyson Court would have been Claire again if those fags didn't strike because it's "unfair".

But their jobs require more talent than yours

>American VAs
>talent
kek

>speak into a tin can for a video game

Wow so talented

And where do you work?

If it's so easy then why aren't you doing it?

Where do you work?

Your opinion of the job isn't representative of how the job actually is. Got anything else?

Nice dodge. Where I work is relevant, as I haven't tried to compare it to anything. I can see now you're just shitposting. Have fun with it, kid.

I don't know any jews and I'm not into sucking dicks for a job. Pornstars got more talent than VAs.

It's a single player game you fucking moron.

Your opinion of their talent doesn't mean they're actually talented, got anything else?

Nice dodge yourself too buddy!

so? if he sold the fucking music rights. they could had used it in a porno for all they care

>The Wanderer
>goes from town to town fucking every stranger

Throw in a Rambo "why you pushing me" scene maybe a Incredible Hulk sad piano walking away scene we got some good porn.

O-Okay Todd.

fuck dude we should write pornos
we could make millions

This is the same guy who wrote a song about traipsing around town being a colossal fuckboy right?

I don't want to hear shit about standards.

You want my address bro? I'll have you know I'm a trained navy seal with over 300 confirmed kills.

So basically your voice is unremarkable and your acting skills non-existent so nobody on this planet with an eye for such talent has ever thought anything of you.

Sup Forums has some already and I think /gif/ has gotten mommyposting/milkieposting to Xev Bellinger or whoever so it's not out of the realm of possibility user.

Are you a voice actor user? You're defending this a lot more than anyone else has a right too. I'll admit I like some VAs like Atkin Downes but the other fags aren't that good if they can be replaced that easy.

But Sup Forums has little memes that could work in a porn movie outside of probably Loss, Toddposting and Dobson.

You might be thinking of A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash.
However Dion also wrote Runaround Sue which is exactly the same as The Wanderer but about a girl.

Japan has used panty vending machines so I wouldn't look to them as the control sample.

Japanese voice acting is hilariously hammy. I don't even speak Japanese but I know that real Japanese people don't talk that way.

We've got Anthony Burch, Chris, Friday Night threads and console war wojaks. Yeah as I typed this out I realize we're a shit board when it comes to memes.

>six times the number of people playing FO4 over FONV
Did that image really help your case?

YAMERO
HAYAI
N-NANI
BAAAAKAAA
ITADAKIMAAASU
IKUZEEE

it's just people using it for porn

Not that user but A Boy Named Sue isn't about a fuckboy it's about a bullied kid that grew up to be a badass that almost commits patricide in revenge for being named Sue.

Yeah to NEETs who are obsessed with their characters. Not to actual people with social lives.
