Fans were ecstatic at the reveal of a South African woman in the game, but their excitement for her deflated after it was revealed that she would be voiced and motion captured by famous voice actress Laura Bailey, a woman who is definitely white and definitely not South African. To some, her casting felt like Naughty Dog went with a popular name instead of finding an actual woman of color to voice Nadine.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will hit the PS4 on April 26.
