So Video Game Voice Actors want royalties, but it isn't about money. by Worm 09/25/2015, 6:12am PDT

3rd comment sums it up pretty nicely.

"If a video game is wildly successful, actors should share in its financial success,"

Hahaha. Get in fucking line. If anybody should be taking home royalties it's programmers/artists/designers who made it, and not one of them sees a dime in 99.9% of cases.

This is why we need a union. Well actually no there's a million other reasons we need a union, the biggest one being unpaid overtime. But whatever.


I guess it might just be a standard tactic of ask for more than you know you can get, but it sure makes me dream for a second that they'd actually go on strike and maybe we could have a few releases where those voice work budgets released to the rest of of the game.
