Even if this was a good idea, EA should not be allowed to patent it.
Rockstar patented NPC showing natural behavior, eg. when feeling cold or hot
No wonder that advancements of immersion in games are moving so slow compared to graphics when these dipshit companies patent every tiny thing.
That’s not innovation
Why do you think if things are slower it’s because of patents? There are jillions of patents on graphical stuff too.
Yeah but you can often hack around it and accomplish something similar.
Patenting the use of the voice from the player or NPC behaving naturally are examples which just hurts the whole industry

Have they not noticed that virtually no one likes to hear their own voice because it sounds different than it does in their head?
Assuming one hears their own voice in recorded form enough times, that “strange” feeling it might give at first subsides.
Sounds liked a bad idea. Who wants their voice out there… just seems like a security issue.
I could see people who became deaf-mute using it. Apple has Personal Voice for iOS that allows people who are losing their voice to use it to connect to their loved ones.
I just have hard time trusting EA.
EA might like it
Collecting more voice data that they will then own
I just want a game where I get to name my character after myself and the voice-acted NPCs use AI to dub my name into their lines instead of awkwardly avoiding using names.
