The very important and stressfull work of the VA that do some dozen hours on a game versus coders that put some thousand hours... yes they need a lot of protection and sure besides being paid by the work done they also need extra by number of contracts (while every other business being contracted more frequently is the bonus itself and usually comes with discount on the volume)... and then we'll start hearing more about the rise of cost and etc.

Also on not knowing the project can also help prevent leaks and it isn't as really someone that have to read lines for money needs to know for what they are reading it.

VA's can still make or break gmaes, sure, but I agree that the PROGRAMMERS deserve far more protection then them.

For the games I like, cinematic experience, VA is very important, but not like most VA in them are really deserving much more than they currently get (doesn't matter the amount, because that was what they were accepting) unless they are capable of delivering more value, in this case they would get more without striking... if they can be "easily" replaced by passerbys that show their work isn't that important (besides 3-10 VA that have main roles in the game)
