Ok, I just saw a screen shot of that page that showed the overall franchise at the top of the page with a number.  On my screen when I look it up that entry just shows "N/A" for some reason.  Not sure why it is displaying differently for different users.  But that explains why the number is nearly doubled.

Taylor: *Checking VGChartz*
"The series has made HOW much!!?? Wow, I should ask for a lot more money then."

*11 months later*

Taylor: *Sitting by the phone*
"Strange, I haven't heard back from them in a long time. I bet they're just counting all that money they made and will get back to me aaaany day now."

Moral of the story: VGChartz ruined Hellena Taylor's career.

A terf/blue lives mattered suporter lied?! Shocked I tell y...ok not that shocked. Not shocked at all. Expected.

Unions affect the wages of people who don't work in them. See: https://apwu.org/news/new-report-proves-how-unions-raise-bar-all-workers

Again, this only works if you assume: 

1. No knowledge asymmetries. Real-world labor markets are ridden with knowledge asymmetries. Predicting what the supply and demand of particular labor markets will be eight-twelve years from when you make a career-path decision, especially if you're going off outdated information, is not much less speculation than any other part of the economy. This is also true if you have very few social resources to help you. Monopolies of knowledge are real. For example this focus on STEM. Most STEM degrees aren't "highly desired" and "thus pays well." Especially when we talk about STEM fields that deal with fundamental knowledge that is far from a practical implementation and capital concentrations, like the Natural Sciences as an example

(I am an example of somebody who went from a Physics B.A -> M.S Data Analytics because there weren't professors retiring and academia is not a good career path these days. This is despite being accepted for a Physics PhD program.) 

2. An absence of market failures, like monopsonies. A lot of critical work like: transportation, home health care, warehouse work, etc. exists in regions where a local monopsony or oligopsony exist and therefore suppresses wages to subsistence levels. This work must be done. The idea that the monopsony or oligopsony should be left to its own devices is not something most people are comfortable and it is a solidly right-wing view to argue that labor monopsonies or oligopsony should persist. Especially when they are less efficient and have deadweight losses.  

3. Equality in primary, secondary, and tertiary educational opportunity. This doesn't exist in the United States. Different school districts have very different education qualities. Arguing that somebody who had poor primary and/or secondary education should just pursue a difficult degree and if they can't they should live in poverty is unethical in so much as those inequalities persist.

4. Capital is being appropriately invested by capitalists and labor market demand reflects real consumer demand. On the other-hand, we see many scenarios in our economy of malinvestment by capitalists being forgiven by bailouts/cost-shifting. Since capital is so concentrated, and there are adverse incentives introduced by cost-shifting, how do we know that the current demand curve represents what it would be without this cost-shifting? Why are the poor decisions of a capitalist a social problem where the risks are socialized but not that of an 18 year old deciding a career path? 

All of these are reasons why it makes sense to not just allow pure supply and demand to take place in labor markets. There has to be some degree of insulation and protection of the working class if we are to allow capitalism to persist as the dominant social relationship of production.

Oh man. I haven't been here in years, and I had a flashback when people mentioned Bayonetta 3's 450 million dollars worth was probably based on VGChartz. I still see some old faces, at least.

Well she hasn't worked in the voice industry since 2014, I think it's going to be quite awhile before she gets another opportunity.

Damn, she really shot herself in the foot here...

Wow...what an incredible liar. She even had me for a while. Welp, just goes to show you to wait for the whole story before jumping to conclusions.

No other studios work with her anyway.  Her last video game voice acting job that wasn't Bayonetta was for Dragon Age: Origins in 2009.

And that is the part I don't get.  This is a job that is made up of short gigs.  Most voice actors take multiple jobs each year.  Looking at Jennifer Hale's credits, it looks like she does at least 8 jobs a year, and most years quite a bit more than that.

So when Hellena Taylor says, "I was just asking for a fair, living wage in line with the value that I bring to this game," I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.  This isn't a year-long salaried position.  This is a 1 week gig.  And I hate to break it to her, but voice acting is probably the least important part of a game unless it is something like a visual novel.  I am willing to bet a lot of gamers would agree with that opinion.

tbh thats the funniest shit, good one
