Hellena Taylor calls for a boycott of Bayonetta 3 (Part 1)

Platinum Games shot themselves in the foot with Bayonetta 3 by offering the voice actress of the main character an abysmally low $4,000 dollars allegedly. While it is true that this is an allegation and not confirmed, it certainly doesn't help when Hideki Kamiya was going a little bananas on twitter and getting himself temporary banned from blocking anyone who dare questioned the situation.

Now no hate if you're still buying this, but as of right now I can safely say I'm not picking this up at launch. The voice's of characters are pivotal to the identity of a character so I don't think I would be able to get past the actor change. I know when Kojima did this in Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain, it severely hurt my experience. Considering the popularity of Bayonetta, both as a game and a character, it's certainly surprising they are acting like this.
