Honkai: Star Rail publisher sues player for $150,000 over streaming a character before release

  They argue that a leak such as this “dampens the excitement and anticipation that many players feel when they obtain the update legitimately upon its official release.”

  And suing your fans over already released information such as the character, does more damage then what they would have done.

  Jesus. I was already pretty upset about them replacing VAs every other patch, and now replacing VAs because of the strike. I think I’m done, Star Rail. Which is sad because I was really enjoying the story. But I can’t really support a game that behaves like that.

    Same here. I LOVE Genshin Impact. I have played it since release day and have honestly never been so deep into a games world, characters and story before. But with the voices changing or even no voices in the past year, i am kinda burned out. There is so much drama surrounding the game that everytime i play it, it feels bad even just playing it.

      Exactly. And I 100% support the VAs for striking, they need to protect their craft from being exploited by AI.

      I mean, I played Genshin for a long time too, and I never whaled on it, Welkin Moon was my jam, just to get some extra pulls for characters I was excited to have and play. So, I was used to the MC being pretty unspoken, and I can appreciate that at least from a narrative perspective, allowing the player to insert their own voice and what not (although I really like both Lumine and Stelle’s English VAs though, really criminal Lumine had so few spoken lines.)
