"F**k AI in performance," says Baldur's Gate 3's Neil Newbon: "it's dull as hell," and companies should "spread the wealth"
Neil Newbon's stance on AI is pretty clear. Earlier this year when the SAG-AFTRA videogame strike was at its peak, he formed the Pixel Pack: a collection of some of gaming's most prolific actors that includes everyone from heavy hitters like Troy Baker and Matt Mercer to newcomers like fellow Baldur's Gate 3 alumni Devora Wilde and 2025 Game Award winner Jennifer English. "Fuck AI in performance," he tells me, but despite the cuss word, he's dead serious - Neil Newbon isn't here to play.
