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.

I strongly disagree.

One of the most iconic performances in videogame history comes from an unkown guy doing the John Marston role.

On the other hand, you have titles like Beyond Two Souls, whereEllen Page didnt add anything special, nor Willem Dafoe.

Like i said, videogame can exist without big name voice actors. Voice actors cannot exist without videogames.

EDIT: Videogame Voice Actors. Movies and TV series are a whole different world.

I'm amused by people continously assuming that Voice Actors can't exist without video games.

While market is significantly smaller than Japan, you do know what there are many other business that requires voice actors, right? Why do you think Japanese VAs have such strong leverages than developers?

My position on this matter is that almost everyone in video game industry need to demand more for their work.
