The vast majority of video game voice actors are underpaid, they get just a few roles a year, and are forced to work a 2nd or even 3rd job just to make ends meet. I'm not saying that the developers don't deserve better too, they most certainly do. It's time for developers and actors to unite and go on strike together until the publishers give them a bigger piece of the giant pie. Many of these games make hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, yet the developers and actors together might be lucky to get 15% of that revenue between them (split anywhere between 200 and 1000 ways depending on how many people worked on the game), the rest goes to pay some fat cat executives' bloated paychecks. |
