Ick; definitely do not want this (vtubers are super uncanny valley to me and unnerving)
It can be done right. Like a dragon infinite wealth has a vtuber character as part of its story line, they use the account to spread lies about the main character and part of the story is trying to figure out who controls the channel.
But yeah, I don't see most games doing it that way lol
To me, it's about the voice and avatar on screen and not the content. They never fully match (I am super sensitive to sync between audio and video) which just puts it into super creepy and inhuman on top of the weird (to me, anyway,) animated avatar (and I don't just mean Japanese-anime-style either; I've seen robots, more photo-realistic, etc.).
interestingly it's mostly the big corporation-backed models that have bad sync. independent streamers seem to care more about that and there is a clear difference in quality.
