Some developers not as enthusiastic at videogame voice actors's demands amid the possibility of a strike

@Rol, in this case the actors can be easily replaced, in terms of electing not to use big name actors in games and still selling buttloads of games.

Too bad that the suits want to market games as if they compete with movies.

Voice actors have certainly more leverage than developers. Whether they'll succeed at badgering publishers remains to be seen.

But when delusions of grandeur (we're like movies, only better) run up against profits, profits always win. So if they can avoid paying residuals / royalties to VAs by telling big name actors to piss off and going back to exclusively using unknowns, that's what they'll do. And even when unknowns become known in the video game subculture, they have no leverage because those actors are not regarded as credible talent by the screen acting master race, which means they have nowhere else to go for work.

Where's that dirty console peasant / PC gaming master race cartoon that can be co-opted for this situation?
