To put it mildly, the initial announcement was unpopular. Not only was this an NFT partnership, but the specific wording of the tweet was seen as inflammatory. He signed off on the original tweet about the NFT project: “We all have a story to tell. You can hate. Or you can create. What would it be?” That’s what the “hate” comment was referring to.
It’s not just wider internet feedback that’s changing the minds of voice actors. Troy joins other industry professionals on a podcast called “Play, Watch, Listen.” Mike Bithell, Alanah Pearce and Austin Wintory. The rest of the team is anti-NFT, and shortly after Troy tweeted, there was a podcast dedicated to talking about NFTs with Troy. This is probably just a small group of people trying to discuss the subject with Baker.
While the voice actor has now reconsidered his partnership, there are still other people and companies jumping into NFTs head on, like Team 17’s Worms.
