Their role does matter... Just not as much as Devs.

I am not saying they don't deserve stuff, I am saying if they get stuff like this, the Devs should get more.

Devs make the game, this is a common thing we all know that has to happen, or you don't egt a game. What also happens is we have games that do require voice actors, those roles are important to fill in for and express at the end of the day, otherwise you end up with a mediocre sounding game. Same with musicians and music. 

The devs should get more?, then why not make them get 10 times more and VA's and everyone else a lot less?. You're still trying to put one above the other, what we want is everyone getting paid decently. 

Yea but that applies to a certain extent and it highly depends on the game. But the thing is, if the devs don't get paid well, then the game itself might be poor. Its one thing to have poor VA or no VA at all but its another thing to have the gameplay itself be poor. Reviewers can dock some marks for poor VA but that won't break the game but what will is having poor gameplay and bugs. And not to mention that developers work on post content where as VA does not unless its like specific content which requires VA which doesn't apply to all games...

And yes, I do want the people that are more essential to the development of the game to get more than the ones who aren't as essential... I am not saying that everyone shouldn't get paid decently but to me, it doesn't make any sense for a person that isn't as comparatively essential to the development of the game to get paid the same as a person who is.
