I cannot find him anymore. Any idea where he is currently located?

Iām pretty sure you know the answer and youāre just out fishing with bait.
But on the off chance that you donāt know, it was removed almost immediately after he was accused of sexually inappropriate behavior over twitter.

Really? was that a permanent thing?
'Cos Blizzard can not be associated even at a distance with even vague accusations of inappropriate behaviour?

Theyāre not adding his NPC back, it is permanent.
Even though the accusations were never proven. In fact from what I remember (which is foggy) the female accusing him was a dodgy character herself.

Lawl and I remember Kaelāthas Voice was different, why did they change his voice actor?

Same reason. Accusations, he was replaced immediately and eventhough proven innocent he was not brought back.

Even though people are proven to be innocent, these accusations will stick to them regardless of what they do afterwards or what happens.

Cancel culture is not an issue some people say, a man gets accused by shady vengeful woman society bends over and cancels the said man.
Irony is that some cancelers seems to be ones who are actually guilty themselves. Lookin at certain company.

These things will keep sticking as long as companies like this one keep having knee jerk reactions and refuse to make public apologies for said kneejerk actions.
They act like a court case was heard and the person was found guilty. Lame.

Because thatās actually how the career of Voice Acting works.
Sorry to break your conspiracy theory, but that actually is.
Blizzard had no ongoing contract with Quinton Flynn, because that isnāt how you contract VAās. Yes, before anyone asks āOh and youāre an expert are you?ā Iām just going to say āYes, I am. That is my day to day careerā
Blizzard had no contractual obligations to Quinton for 14 years now, nor did he have to them. That would be like asking me to come back into work in an office I last worked in age 33. When I wasnāt contractually obliged to.
Heāll have been payed PCH. He will have been payed for every last second of voice work he did as Kaelāthas. In fact heāll have been paid -more- because PCH means āPer Complete Hour or fraction thereofā So heāll actually have been ahead of the deal, as I say. 14 freakinā years ago.
Anyone else still expect their workplace 14 years ago when it was contract work to still pay them?
They used a different VA. So what. Itās a known risk of the job. You donāt change horses in the middle of a stream, but you can change them in between streams. Itās how the career works.
Lemme ask you, How many actors have played Spider Man in the last twenty or so years? Or did they keep the same one?
The re-recording of older VA work dating back to TBC ? Standard. You want continuity. Thatās industry standard.
Why did they change the Voice Actor? Because they chose to. He had no contract with them, and they had no contract with him.
Ever notice that Lorāthemar Theronās Voice Actor has changed? There were no accusations of any misdoings or anything untoward, they just did whatā¦a company can do and chose a VA who was available.
People need to stop using this random āWhat about Kaelāthasā voice actor!ā when they have no gods damned idea what they are talking about.
Just chill, and go āHey, why did this football club get a different footballer in, it should be the original footballer in that position!ā then realise how ridiculous they sound.
Incorrect. That isnāt how the VA industry works. As I stated above. Itās much more based on temporary contract, at which point both parties part amicably and have no obligations to each other whatsoever, and sometimes, in the case of Audio Books, on Royalties. (I have the sweetest deal on that front)
People keep talking about Quinton Flynn. All that has been damaged here, is his ego. Which even he acknowledged.
Its interesting how you never get bored to write massive wall of text when someone mentions Quintonā¦ that is some dedication. And every time all you mention is the money, not everyone cares just about the money, his legacy is removed from game and he cant anymore be proud of the work he did. The amount of lawyer talk is even beyond Ion.

He was judged to be guilty by Blizzard and Twitterā¦ he will rot in social media hellā¦The new power over life and death. (the fact he was wasnāt even charged let alone declared guilty of anything he was accused off seems to be irrelivant)
BTW ā the same standard should apply to Blizzard for the white knights around. ā¦ too many are damning Blizzard before a trial. This is a dangerous road.
We should be better than Twitter etc. on here.

Thatās a good one they should look closer to home so.
Right, OK, people use that term āWall of textā when what they mean to say is āLots of words is scary to meā I used punctuation and paragraphing. It is not my fault if you find lots of words scary, I am neither your parent or you tutor to make that more amenable to you.
The reason I talk about it, is that I -Know- how the VA industry works, right? I know how it works, and I know what happened is normal industry practice.
Is that the same way you would view any actor? Someone new did the role, so therefore their performance was worth nothing? That isnāt how it works. Did they remove his old voice files? Yes. Is that standard practice? Yes. Is there anything abnormal in how Blizzard treated him? No.
Just also going to say, he was the Plaintiff in that case. Not the Defendant. So it wasnāt like he was being accused of being guilty of anything. It was the opposite. He was accusing someone else of being guilty, and he was proven right, in a court of law.
None of which makes a company he had not worked for in over 14 years contractually obliged to give him a job.
How do people even think that works? Thatās surreal.
Yeah, they revisited his VA work, tough luck, that is how the industry works, something which he, as an accomplished VA, would -KNOW-.
People forget that fact. He was the one bringing the charges, he was not charged, not when the new Kaelāthas VA work was being done, but there are legal precedents as to who you can and cannot hire for acting work, and one of those, is whether they are involved in ongoing legal proceedings at the time the work is needed, (Which he was) and whether or not they are Plaintiff (Which he was) or Defendant, (Which he was not).
Everybody gets outraged about that without remembering this was a legal case he had instigated himself. It was a risk he took, knowing full well that it would prohibit him from working for the duration of said legal proceedings.
