This feels like something blown more out of proportion if you actually read Paradox's reply, and of course trust it. (Reddit warning)
The highlight for me is that it seems more based on being able to add lines in the future, without having to drag the actor back into the studio for 1-3 new lines only (And that's on the generous side for what gets added per DLC). Paradox claims the original voice artist gets a fair commission from the usage of their voice for new lines, which would be nice if it's true.
Using the voices of real people who did real work with them, with a real agreement between studio and actor, and paying the actor even when lines are generated, is exactly how it should work.
