Sean Chiplock SOON Anime Texas (Woodlands, TX) October 15, 2022 I made MORE from voicing Spade/Dail in Freedom Planet 1 because *that* generously gave me sales royalties. I was paid approx $2,000-$3000 overall because it was based on the total number of hours in the studio (which was higher because of voicing 3 characters in a single game). That figure was, according to Chiplock, based on “the total number of hours in the studio,” at a higher-than-average rate because he voiced three characters in each game. Responding to a question from another Twitter user, Chiplock claimed that he was paid approximately $2,000 to $3,000 USD, per game, for his work on Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity. ![]() Sean Chiplock, best known to Zelda fans as the voice of Revali, Teba, and the Great Deku Tree in Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity, was another high-profile industry professional to join the conversation. Composer / arranger Danny Baranowsky ( Cadence of Hyrule, Super Meat Boy) and game director Josh Sawyer ( Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity) for example described the $4,000 USD offered to Taylor a “lowball,” while voice actors David Hayter ( Metal Gear Solid) and Dani McRae ( League of Legends) voiced their support for Taylor. Taylor’s statement has since sparked hearty discourse on social media, as industry professionals, pundits, and fans alike have shared thoughts, experiences, and insights on both Taylor’s situation and on the wages and compensation afforded to those who work in the video games industry in general. PlatinumGames have yet to release an official statement, though the company’s vice president and Bayonetta director Hideki Kamiya addressed the situation on Twitter before his account was removed. ![]()
