I genuinely hope this strike will succeed in its goals to at least some extent. Based on a lot of stories that seem to come out of the industry in general, working in it isn't very often a pleasurable experience. If they succeed it could potentially lead to other sections of the industry to begin demanding better working conditions and the like.

It wasn't that long ago when Amy Hennig (the writer of the Uncharted-games) talked about the massive amounts of stress the industry can create due to how game development works right now.

I agree with you. They're just fighting for what they think they deserve. Jim Sterling said it perfectly last week, here.

Yeah, I've seen that and I agree. I don't think people necessarily realize that this isn't about voice actors getting more than everyone else, it's about them getting a decent compensation for their work. That doesn't mean that other people working in the industry shouldn't also receive more, but it has to start somewhere if the video game industry is going to become a healthy place to work for people.
