Shortly after being exposed, the voice actor released a TwitLonger titled &quot;I owe an apology,&quot; essentially admitting to blackmail and assault.Gindi has since remained silent on social media, with his profile and display picture blacked out.

But his statement did little to ease concerns as a firestorm started brewing. Community members demanded his immediate resignation and departure from the franchise.Perhaps more damningly, among the thousands of gamer demands of Gindi's recasting, his voice actor colleagues stood with the community and opined on the matter. Although many are satisfied with Gindi's resignation, others want to see him face legal action. On February 15, miHoYo took a stand and will likely pass on recommendations to judicial authorities.
