According to statements from various voice actors involved with the project, the game&#8217;s developer, HoYoverse, is allegedly paying its voice actors poorly&#8211;and sometimes not paying them at all.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Two voice actors have come forward publicly to share their experience with the studio on Twitter. Corina Boettger&#8211;the voice behind the popular NPC named Paimon&#8211;says the studio owes her thousands, and Brandon Winckler (who voices a number of minor roles) has shared a similar story after ultimately deciding to leave the production.<\/p>\n<div data-embed-type=\"tweet\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BWincklerVA\/status\/1679301863777406977\" data-has-image=\"false\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\" style=\"width: 100%; margin: 10px auto; display: flex; max-width: 550px;\">  <iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: static; visibility: visible; width: 550px; height: 476px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=GameSpot&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=true&amp;id=1679301863777406977&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Farticles%2Fgenshin-impact-voice-actors-say-they-havent-been-paid-in-months%2F1100-6515947%2F&amp;sessionId=73a3e72b85558f134b29237d7e9148a06acfb918&amp;siteScreenName=GameSpot&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=aaf4084522e3a%3A1674595607486&amp;width=550px\" data-tweet-id=\"1679301863777406977\"><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<p>  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\" async charset=\"utf-8\" data-service-name=\"twitter\" id=\"twitter-embed-2147088375\" src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Boettger weighed in on the situation with a Twitter thread of her own, <a style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">stating she hasn&#8217;t been paid<\/a> in &#8220;months,&#8221; before adding, &#8220;Just to be clear, we don&#8217;t know if this is the fault of the studio, or the game company. But regardless, if the game was union this wouldn&#8217;t happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Winckler also revealed that, in addition to being late, their wages were also extremely low.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It&#8217;s really hard to justify working on something for the sake of work when you can&#8217;t afford to eat, they <a style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">tweeted<\/a>. &#8220;Many non-union productions have this problem, I&#8217;ve waited anywhere from 4-8 months for payment, and even then, it isn&#8217;t much to ask. 1000 here, 500 there, and it adds up fast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Both actors have suggested that a game as big as Genshin Impact should be a union project to ensure voice actors are treated fairly and paid on time, especially given the game&#8217;s financial success&#8211;Genshin Impact reportedly <a data-target=\"true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">generated a total of $3.7 billion<\/a> from 2020 to 2022 alone, and Winckler has estimated the game makes roughly $86 million per month.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Though Boettger appears to still be employed at the studio, Winckler made the choice to seek employment elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I personally won&#8217;t be working on this game anymore unless it goes under a union contract,&#8221; Winkler said of their decision to leave Genshin Impact. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have much to lose from this choice&#8211;and if I&#8217;m lucky, I hope others will at least see where I&#8217;m coming from with that choice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>GameSpot has reached out to the studio for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Unions have been gaining more traction in the gaming space as of late, with <a style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">ZeniMax quality assurance employees voting to unionize<\/a> in January, and Sega workers in Irvine forming <a style=\"text-decoration:none;color:black;\">the biggest multi-departmental union in video game history<\/a> earlier this week. The trend toward unionization is an encouraging one, but situations like the Genshin Impact payout controversy clearly demonstrate that the playing field is not yet even, and pro-union workers in the gaming industry have a serious uphill battle ahead of them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"js-mapped-ad mapped-ad mapped-mpu_middle mapped-mpu_middle-dart js-seamless-middle-mpu float-right no-inner-space\" data-ad-type=\"mpu_middle\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"ad-wrap ad-wrap-mpu_middle gpt-ad hide\" id=\"mpu_middle\" data-gpt-page-params=\"{&quot;ppid&quot;:&quot;883f8ec9-1079-45a1-8dd9-e1f535afa934&quot;,&quot;ptype&quot;:&quot;news_article&quot;,&quot;contentid_nr&quot;:&quot;gs-1100-6515947&quot;,&quot;game&quot;:&quot;genshin-impact&quot;,&quot;gnre&quot;:&quot;action,role-playing&quot;,&quot;rdate&quot;:&quot;bp52&quot;,&quot;pform&quot;:&quot;playstation-4,android,ios-iphoneipad,pc,playstation-5,nintendo-switch,mobile&quot;,&quot;publisher&quot;:&quot;mihoyo&quot;,&quot;category&quot;:&quot;games&quot;,&quot;user&quot;:&quot;anon&quot;,&quot;verticalName&quot;:&quot;gaming&quot;,&quot;ttag&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;ftag&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;session&quot;:&quot;d&quot;,&quot;subses&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;pv&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;vguid&quot;:&quot;02fc50d7-20f0-4f1e-981b-10f2f8cec140&quot;,&quot;is_mobile&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;uap&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;uap_c&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;npa&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;rdp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;s0&quot;:&quot;gaming&quot;,&quot;s1&quot;:&quot;gamespot&quot;,&quot;skin&quot;:&quot;gamespot_desktop&quot;,&quot;seg&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;aamid&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG&quot;:[&quot;AU_SEG_AGE_35-44&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_AGE_25-54_2&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_AGE_25-34&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_FANDOM_NINTENDO_USERS&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_PLAYSTATION&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_FANDOLDA&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_GENDER_MALE&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_XBOX&quot;,&quot;AU_SEG_AGE_25-54&quot;],&quot;ids&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;bsc&quot;:[&quot;84211001&quot;,&quot;84212001&quot;,&quot;84042001&quot;,&quot;84011001&quot;,&quot;84041001&quot;,&quot;84092032&quot;,&quot;84092026&quot;,&quot;84091001&quot;,&quot;84012005&quot;]}\" data-gpt-slot-params=\"{&quot;pos_nr&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:[&quot;gamespot&quot;],&quot;pos&quot;:&quot;mpu_middle&quot;,&quot;rv&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;sl&quot;:&quot;mpu_middle?T-1000&quot;,&quot;iid&quot;:&quot;unit=mpu_middle|vguid=02fc50d7-20f0-4f1e-981b-10f2f8cec140|pv=1&quot;}\" data-slot-result=\"collapse\" data-google-query-id=\"CNCI8deTjYADFTXJcwEdjmoE5w\" data-gpt-advertiser-id=\"null\" data-gpt-order-id=\"null\" data-gpt-creative-id=\"null\" data-gpt-line-item-id=\"null\" data-gpt-creative-size=\"null\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/5441\/aw-gamespot\/news_2__container__\" style=\"border: 0pt none;
