Does Troy Baker suck? I know he voices he a ton of characters but I've never heard of anything about him personally.

And ya, this is a great step forward. Like movies and tv, the video game industry is rife with the money taking advantage of people. Maybe even more, because there's less union backing in video games.

From the lede of his Wikipedia article:

In early 2022, Baker was the subject of controversy due to his partnership with an NFT company that had been revealed to have plagiarized voice lines generated from 15.ai, an artificial intelligence text-to-speech project developed by an MIT student, as part of their marketing campaign.

So yeah, seems like he might well suck.
