In this video, I react to Hero Hei’s latest coverage, “Hated Genshin VA Just CONFIRMED She Got FIRED”, where he reveals that Corina Boettger—the longtime English voice of Paimon—was officially replaced in Version 5.7, not by choice, but because Hoyoverse terminated her contract.

Corina publicly admitted she wouldn’t return to voice Paimon unless Hoyoverse signed a SAG-AFTRA agreement—but that interview came after her contract was already terminated.

The new patch credits confirm a fresh, uncredited VA, signaling that the company didn’t accept her terms—they fired her.

Yeah, I’m glad they let her go. Players were vocal: Corina’s constant drama, public calls for scabs, and attacks on other VAs had pushed the community too far.

Hoyoverse made the right call. Delays caused by refusal to work during a strike are understandable, but dragging it out and insulting peers crosses the line.

Now, they’ve got a smoother, professional Paimon voice—fans are already noticing the upgrade.

They protected player experience, ensuring patches didn’t stall and the mascot’s voice shifted to a more agreeable tone.

They upheld standards—voice actors can't hold a multi-billion-dollar franchise hostage for personal agenda.

Fans responded with support, even pledging in-game currency for the recast—an open community vote of approval .

Watch with me as I break down Hero Hei’s key points, dig into the timeline of firing vs quitting, and explore why this is more than a VA change—it’s a message about professionalism and community expectations.
