    I could guess. Most English actors are not used to doing dubs. Lots are just giving it a go when they want to be a screen actor.

    There’s a far more reliable pool of work for dubbing TV and film to languages other than English and therefore a greater pool of professionals to pick from. Leading to higher standards.

    On top of that there’s an anachronism of American actors accents in older stories set in the past that don’t fit, or trying other English accents they’ve never been exposed to fit in.

    Good English speaking actors and voice actors are in really high demand outside of the gaming industry too. There are a huge number of bad or inexperienced actors trying to get a career going.

    The quality of actor for dubbing a game you can get for a budget is probably lower or at least much less consistent.

    When we love an actor they get star billing and the cost to hire them rockets. They then move towards film and TV.

    We love our good actors but that means they’re too expensive.




  • In civil cases they’re used by those who can afford them to oppress those who can’t.

    Lawyers follow the doctrine that both sides need representation in criminal cases but time spent is still weighted to those who pay.

    Lawyers claim a position of moral neutrality when picking a side as part of a process which compensates each side differently.

    One dramatic way to reform the system is to enforce an equal budget to both sides of a case in civil and criminal cases. If someone pays for thousands of hours of legal representation to attack you, you should be able to spend that money on legal representation too.

    All too often defending a case is not worth the price.

    Anecdotally I’d actually like to bring a case against my landlord but the similar cases against them have been sat for years and often time out due to technicalities when someone can’t afford yet another solicitors letter.
