I thought this would be interesting for Overawatch players like me, even though most of us predicted that after his visit to Blizzard HQ.

Do you want him to voice the upcoming character?

Never understood the need to spend big amounts of a game's budget on celebrities doing voiceover work, like Call of Duty did with Kevin Spacey and whoever they got for the new game. Good unknown voice actors will do the job just as good if not better, but I guess it helps with sales with casuals.

The only good examples of celebrity voiceovers that made sense/I liked I can think of right now are Stephen Merchant in Portal 2 and Jack Black in Brütal Legend

same is true for a lot of movies that overpay for big name stars when lesser known actors will do the job just as good. It's marketing.

thinking they run the show and demanding high pay are two different things.
There are plenty of stars demanding high pay who don't try to run the show.

When you no longer need the money, you can demand as much as you want. even outside of entertainment, in the business world, I've encountered people asking for a ridiculously high fee, just because they don't really want to do the work. Of course, sometimes people actually pay that fee. Hell, I once was offered "as much as you want" to do a task I really didn't want to do except, I actually turned it down, rather than ask for something ridiculous. seems more honest, and I'd like to keep open the possibility of future work

Besides, if Willis demanded $4 million, and Stallone offered $3 million, I don't think it's ridiculously high pay. If he'd demanded $40 million it'd be different.

That's pretty retarded of BW. He snubbed 3 mils? lol. He could've gotten 3 mils, then he had nothing.

What makes you assume that Crews is significantly more expensive than a lesser-known voice actor, especially relative to the game's budget? Also, I think you're underestimating the budget for a Call of Duty game.

Anyway, here's a third example: Ray Liotta and others in GTA: Vice City.

What's wrong with having recognizable actors in a game? If they can afford it why not?
Also, it doesn't automatically mean they earn a lot more than others.
Edit: There was a strike a few months back where the preliminary details about pay were released.

Well since it was the most successful game of 2016 on PC and a pretty good game overall, you could say that there are some people left playing it you know.

Yes it is. At the moment it's still need some work here and there, but the community is growing no doubt about it.

When you see even pro korean Starcraft players switching it means the potential is here, it can't be only for $$ purpose.

Terry Crews seems really into the PC gaming community as of right now so it's no surprise. They are just teasing, it's coming.

Can't wait to play a new tank, hopefully Doomfist is the "red robot" we've seen on the artwork before the game even came out.
