Good.
One of my good friends was one of the voices on LA Noire years ago and gets zero residuals from it. It’s maddening.
🤷♂️I’ve made multiple million-dollar titles and haven’t gotten more than a paycheck from them. I really don’t think VAs should get much if any in the way of residuals. Engineers, artists, and designers should get a huge portion of the profits. Giving VAs even a 1% residual is a slap in the face of the rest of the team who build those games. Not to mention the whole team of LA Noire was laid off later that year.
I never wondered about the conditions of videogames workers, but I’m really happy that they get better thanks to this movement !
Oh I can provide context with an entertaining and informative video!

Shout out to Matt McMuscles who makes these. What a champ.
Thanks for sharing ! Looks like the usual “small white male feeling powerful because he’s the boss” bullshit more than a problem specific to the gaming industry.
Anyway, unionizing should protect them better from these kind of abuse, which is good :)
