I'm really torn on this topic.

On the one hand I of course want the voice actors to work under good conditions and there demands don't sound unreasonable at least on paper.

On the other hand I absolutely dread the idea of game budgets exploding even more because voice actors wanting to now be treated and paid like Hollywood talent, I don't want to see games be watered down and sequelized even more because voice actors are too expensive.

Game industry makes 3 TIMES as much annual $ as the Hollywood film industry. Actors don't :( #PerformanceMatters pic.twitter.com/91WWgVocVU

So if this is the idea here, then they can honestly fuck right off.

I'd like to see the programmers and other devs get better rights as well. Some of those jobs have horrendous conditions.

Not quite. There's no periods of great treatment and horrid circumstances in all industries. With voice talent, there's no really new outside of the fact that games are bigger than they were 15 years ago and that mo-cap is thing.

I'll just copy/paste someone's comment from EG article on this:

"I've never been a fan of the concept that people who are basically contractors on a project think they should have long term royalties to a products success when it's bigger than the part that they have done.

I'm not saying that they are not talented or the work they do isn't important, but when there are people who are working on the game full time over the course of the project in a risky position of being fired if the game doesn't sell (certainly the case in the USA), or not getting any bonus's because of being 1 point off a Metacritic (such as Fallout New Vegas), or designers/programmers etc working tons of over time for free (and still not getting anything if the game makes money)....

I think this isn't the key issue in game development."

The difference is that actors in movies actually are one of the main reasons why people go and see a certain film, ergo their charisma and popularity helps the film to be a success. That's not the case of videogames, they (VA) are not the face of the product.

Unfortunately I don't see this going anywhere =. They're A LOT of people who could do just as good of a job for either cheaper OR for free tbh. I saw some of the actors saying they weren't doing this strike for the money, but then I also saw some saying they are, so I take it, it really is money, but like I said there are so many people who are just as talented who would do it for free.
secondly I don't really see media covering this that much, online sites yes, but i'm talking about media that supports millions of views per day, IE tv.

Increase game prices especially those for pc. problem solved.

so like 2 people will go on strike since it seems like most games have the same few voice actors anyways

#1 is potentially reasonable, #2 is quite reasonable, #3 should have happened years ago (seriously, what are their agents doing?), and #4 is "hahahahahahahahaha."

I love how people don't think Fast Food employees or lower tier employees, deserve $15 an hour but when someone sits on a chair and reads from a script for a couple of hours a day, he/she suddenly deserve a ton of praise and a fat pay check.
