EA and G4 TV’s Mass Effect 3 Ethics Issue

WorthPlaying writes, "To paraphrase the character of Ricky Ricardo from "I Love Lucy," EA and G4 TV have "some 'splaining to do."

Yesterday morning, EA sent out a press release announcing the voice actors cast for Mass Effect 3. While most of the names are returning actors, there was one new addition that should stand out for anyone in the gaming industry. It was revealed that G4 TV correspondent Jessica Chobot is lending her voice and likeness to the character of Diana Allers, a reporter in Mass Effect 3.

While this is no doubt great news for Chobot, as she's getting a chance to contribute to a top-tier video game from one of her favorite developers, the way the announcement was handled presents a bit of an ethical quandary for both EA and G4 TV."
