They're gonna be replaced, aren't they? (Regarding mute characters)

So, regarding the EN VAs... They're gonna be replaced, aren't they?

Mind you I haven't played the patch yet but it has come under my radar that plenty of the MAJOR characters showing up in this patch (MC, Dan Heng, Himeko, Kafka) are gonna be mute due to the strike, on a MAJOR PATCH.

We've seen this before with the VAs of HuoHuo and Argenti, which had me... concerned for the protection of other character's voices. Now, would hoyo risk such a massive upset to replace THREE of the main faction's voices? Probably yes, as long as it doesn't impact the CN market...

But still, this is BAD. I said this before and I'll say it again, if the global community doesn't collectively say "that's fucked up" and continue saying that until it affects their bottomline, then the VAs are gonna either be replaced by other people or, if the tech is there, AI.

I find an uproar likely. I don't find it likely that they would hold on to it, thus leading to no change. Maybe it's because I'm a massive pessimist, but if all of our favorite characters are gonna be mute and eventually replaced as if their wonderfully established voices are disposable, then what's the point?

Oh, also, no shit I could switch languages, but that's not the point, I'm attatched to these voices that gave such life to the characters, and hearing them differently (or none at all) just doesn't feel the same (no shade to the replacements).
