Tech advances that make it easier to recreate human voices also raise ethical questions about the rights of actors and musicians
When the epic open-world PlayStation 4 game Red Dead Redemption 2 was developed in 2013, it took 2,200 days to record the 1,200 voices in the game with 700 voice actors, who recited the 500,000 lines of dialogue.
It was a massive feat that is nearly impossible for any other studio to replicate – let alone a games studio smaller than Rockstar Games.
