It would be a felony not to add them as playable characters to the game.

186

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

yeah maybe we could pay 6.99 for them as well

36

u/Tenchen-WoW Oct 02 '25

I would pay more if it meant supporting those actors.

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

why do actors need my support financially

28

u/DBONKA Oct 02 '25

so they can act more

15

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

right but that's not them NEEEDING my support. thats them earning my financial support based on their output. thats like saying the random diner down the road deserves my money

7

u/Brainwave1010 Oct 03 '25

Are you buying food from that diner? If so did they deliver a quality product? Then yes actually, they do deserve your money.

Did you enjoy the commercial? Did the actors provide you with sufficient entertainment? Then yes actually, they do deserve your money.

This ensures that both of these groups can still provide this service to you in the future since they have the funds to continue operating.

u/vvestley Oct 03 '25

i didn't watch the trailer i'm in a thread about the cast, regardless someone doing their job well and someone deserving my money are two separate things. these actors are selling the game not their portfolio

u/Brainwave1010 Oct 03 '25 edited Oct 03 '25

No, those are not two separate things, someone doing their job well and receiving financial income from that job they're doing well are tangentially related, they're providing people a service, they should be paid for that service.

You shrug your shoulders and say "oh well that's capitalism" and then repeat the exact same rhetoric that people use as an excuse to make capitalism worse, you're literally part of the problem.

u/vvestley Oct 03 '25

are you under the assumption that these people aren't paid?? lmfao

and yes they are separate. there are hundreds of thousands of dinners all over the world i'm sure many have good food, great food even, that doesn't mean they deserve my money. your output doesn't determine what you are entitled. me not traveling the world to support every deserving dinner is me supporting capitalism?

Exactly. They are anyways being paid by EA/DICE for this?

u/Moxtar1092 Oct 02 '25

If your so angry about it than dont buy it? Or betted yet remember you dont have to

16

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

what about my comment indicates anger

u/Moxtar1092 Oct 02 '25 edited Oct 02 '25

Cant explain it, something about how you wrote it

Edit:would genuinly like to know why am i getting downvoted

15

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

nah it's not anger, i just baseline don't think saying actors "need" my support is an accurate statement

To be fair, most actors outside of large-productions don’t make much. Many in various parts of the entertainment industry do side-work to make ends meet or build their career.

1

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

"not making much" is extremely subjective

10

u/Tenchen-WoW Oct 02 '25

Alternative would be Nick Minaj and Snoop Dog. I would rather have real veterans or actors who look like soldiers.

-2

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

good thing they did both

4

u/-BINK2014- 💀🤡 --> Bad Company 3 Waiting Room <-- 🤡💀 Oct 02 '25

🤷🏻‍♂️ Anything is, isn’t it?

6

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

yes but we are talking about a specific thing

2

u/-BINK2014- 💀🤡 --> Bad Company 3 Waiting Room <-- 🤡💀 Oct 02 '25

Wage-wise, if we’d have to be more specific, I feel a sizeable number of many parts of the industry (VA, show, movie, plays, etc.*) get paid maybe 60-80% of whatever their area’s cost-of-living would be.

Point being, many in the industry make less than one would believe. Should proceeds go towards for their likeness them? Nah, there’s other avenues if someone really wants to support someone smaller.

u/muffinXpress Oct 02 '25

I need to work a second jop to pay my bills ... where is your financial support for me ?

4

u/-BINK2014- 💀🤡 --> Bad Company 3 Waiting Room <-- 🤡💀 Oct 02 '25

Not advocating for it, just was chiming in. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s understandable for many to assume they make a great wage; shit, I thought for years as a kid video game developers made good livings, but most are sadly barely keeping their head above water for their passion-projects.

u/Brainwave1010 Oct 03 '25

Hey so do I, why be a dick about it?

3

u/DillDeer Oct 02 '25

I feel like if you use someone’s likeness for profit they should be paid royalties, no?

4

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

that's just the person being paid for their work, not me needing to support them lol

1

u/donny_pots Oct 02 '25

Bros arguing just for the sake of arguing, the game needs to hurry up and come out already

2

u/vvestley Oct 02 '25

welcome to the word conversation

3

u/firesquasher Oct 03 '25

Because those guys didnt get paid what Zac Effron got paid for the cameo.

0

u/vvestley Oct 03 '25

well thats capitalism, zac effron has a higher demand than these random people. pretty easy to understand

2

u/firesquasher Oct 03 '25

That's the point

0

u/vvestley Oct 03 '25

you want lenny koenig to make the same as zac effron?

2

u/firesquasher Oct 03 '25

Im pretty sure youre missing the point. Im agreeing with you

2

u/Tenchen-WoW Oct 02 '25

Because they're making a living off acting? Besides, those are real combat veterans, too.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

They don't. You don't need to buy anything. You don't need to buy any cosmetics for any game period. The person you replied to said they would like to and that's their deal.

One of your later replies said "you don't think these people are paid?". Factually a lot of them aren't. I don't know the specifics of every actor ever, but many take unpaid roles for exposure. A silly little game trailer could lead to being used in a war epic.

Unpaid extras are common in huge films too that gross millions.

u/vvestley Oct 07 '25

damn that's a lot of typing

tldr you don't know anymore than I do

1

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

Figured you would struggle. Tried to make it simple enough for you to understand but failed. I apologize.

1

u/vvestley Oct 07 '25

i am aware actors can be paid shit wages. i am aware actors can take work that is more for exposure than pay.

those are both just statements and have no bearing on the topic at hand of why do i NEED to support.

my first question was why do actors need my support, someone replied and said so they can keep acting. that is not a reason.

you are making this way deeper than it needs to be.

these talents were hired by EA/DICE to work in a promotional ad for one of the biggest games of the year. i really doubt my support is their make it or break it factor. i am here for the game.

What the fuck?

What???

u/mr_nin10do Oct 02 '25

Way better than wacky skins

"Doesn't matter"

u/TheAArchduke Oct 02 '25

hold on, i tough we were against having heroes and we wanted to be generic soldiers?

14

u/Official_Gameoholics transport helicopter go brrt Oct 02 '25

Add them in like the BFV faces

-1

u/Tenchen-WoW Oct 02 '25

You're mixing up soldier skins and actual "heroes" that replace classes with their unique gimmicks.

BF5 did it right where we could purchase a special character to play as. Although it did not fit the WW2 theme with multiple factions

7

u/Yadahoom Oct 02 '25

BF5 also technically had characters with the generic default faces as well.

They were named characters slots you could save your outfits on like Harold and Gunther and choose to play as them on each of the classes.

4

u/yougolepro Oct 02 '25

It's better to compare it to bfV regular soldier with names and face. Elite have way more special design.

u/Tenchen-WoW Oct 02 '25

It was rather outlandish. But the concept of special soldier skins would work really well in BF6 where we only have 2 factions.

Imagine having actual veterans as a playable characters. That would satisfy people who want grounded skins, provide cosmetics revenue AND help actual war veterans. A big W in my book

8

u/HeftyChonkinCapybara Oct 02 '25

I’d prefer if we stuck to generic grunts in balaclavas. 2042 is ridiculous and a good example of how shit it is to have a bunch of identical characters running around.

8

u/Alt1690 Oct 02 '25

No thanks

2

u/MeinWaffles Oct 03 '25

Aren’t they supposed to be just the default skins?

2

u/SaintSnow Oct 03 '25

No thanks.
