| DonFerrari said: It is very similar to other services you hire. When you hire a plumber you won't pay 15 USD/h of the work he do, or perhaps 5 USD to solve your issue as if you would fraction the minimum wage, nope they are going to request you a minimum fee plus a hourly fee that is much higher than weekly based wages. |
That is a good analogy. My roommate is a painting contractor. When he bids a job he doesn't know exactly how long it will take. Sometimes he can make as much as $200 /hr, but that's mostly the case when he works only a few hours on the job. The end result is what the customer pays for, not how long it takes him to get there.
Same thing here with VA's. A game is a full package that is greater than the sum of its parts. A VA might contribute very little in time, but they contribute quite a bit in value, especially in cinematic games like Bayonetta.
People here are saying, "I don't care about VA's", but I doubt the first cutscene of the first Bayonetta game would've pulled people in if everything was text boxes or bland monotone voices from development staff.
