    Do actors in the gaming industry really sign on to a project without a contract stipulating what they will and won’t do, and how much it will cost?

    This is already a solved issue in the movie and TV industries.

    the title said “actors” but it seemed to just be one woman’s experience. I do think its completely inappropriate, but i don’t know if that means the whole industry does it like that.

    also it’s nice to see BG3 did it right. And I’m surprised there was no mention of it anywhere in a contract. Just seems odd that they’d leave that out for the sake of “spoilers”. You can say what happens without giving specific details.

    I’m all for “we don’t want people talking about the plot in games not in development”.

    But people need to fucking know and consent to being hired for sexual content before accepting jobs, whether you’re pointing a camera at their exposed butthole or “just” making them voice out a consensual sex scene.

    The level of explicit is perfectly fine. But you can’t just drop it on someone. It’s inherently coercive.
