The voice actor behind the titular character in the video game 'Bayonetta' is calling on fans to boycott the franchise's third installment, claiming the flat rate she was offered to reprise her role was not a 'decent, dignified living wage.'

It’s unclear whether Taylor is a member of SAG-AFTRA. A representative for the union did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

That’s because players spend so much time with these characters, he said, it can be jarring to hear a figure they’ve grown attached to sound different suddenly. At the time, voice actors didn’t receive any secondary compensation, sometimes called residuals or royalties, for their work. Hollick told the Times that he didn’t blame Rockstar for the pay issues.

After Taylor tweeted her videos, several other voice actors shared what they were paid for their work on Triple A titles. “Sad and deplorable about the attitude of untruth,” Kamiya wrote. “That’s what all I can tell now. By the way, BEWARE OF MY RULES.”Actor Jennifer Hale, who picked up the mantle of voicing the titular character for the third installment, issued her ownAs a"longtime member of the voice acting community," she said, she supports"every actor's right to be paid well and have advocated consistently for this for years.
