He says he does not blame RockStar but the Union I feel his cause that maybe if the game generated alot of sales maybe the voice actors should get a small piece of the pie. Lets be honest good voice acting makes a big role in a game

What a cry baby.I would have done Niko's voice for free.Plus it wasn't that great of a Serbian accent anyways, i could swear that in some parts he started to sound Scottish.

mabye he should rob a bank or kill some people and collect the money that they drop.
although, its something that voice actors in video games will remember for the future.

I don't believe that people who voice these games had never thought about royalties before... I wonder how much Masterchief voicy bloke made?

I think he was a victim of a cleverly constructed contract which he maybe did not take time to read. He will be appearing at a fruit farm near you soon!

Keep in mind the game made 400 million in the first couple of days. If more games continue to make this much expect more people to want a piece of the action. Can you really blame them?

So far I have been impressed with most of the voice acting in the game.

I think 100K is quite good, maybe this will teach him to research a bit more before agreeing to sign on the dotted line.

The voice actors for games are not part of the writer guild, which may change soon. If game companies have to spend more on actors they will either get less quality, or the prices of games will go up.
