I love BJ

Good luck. 99.9% of people who buy games don’t even know there’s a union, much less a strike going on. And gaming companies figured out a long time ago that catering to the remaining .1% is more expensive than any revenue you’d get from them.

So you just don’t work at all? Good plan!

So this might explain a whole lot if it’s true

All you say is fine and makes sense in principle, but for example the gaming companies -as you can clearly see from the article- are simply ignoring them completely and hiring non-union Voice Actors to do their jobs instead of them.

It’s obviously still a pride thing at this point. They were very mistaken if they ever thought any of those massive publisher were going to care if they stayed around or not, and to be honest I was on the companies’ side on this one.

Almost no one in the industry gets royalties for their work, so not sure about rightfully theirs, it sounds to me they want exceptional privileges.

Customers don’t boycott even f2p garbage games that want to suck thousands of dollars out of you that are dominating the app stores. Voice actors have 0 chance for customer support.

Welp, hope you like not getting paid at all until you get what you want.

“No kidding. Striking only works when there aren’t a hundred people standing behind you chomping at the bit to get into your slot.”

The dipshits ragging on you evidently don’t understand a fucking thing about unions or strikes in general. Strikes are entirely dependent if they disrupt a company’s cashflow, and this strike hasn’t accomplished SHIT in over a year. They are asking all these companies to give in to their demands based purely on the…

Right lol. And not working for a whole fucking year is providing pay and benefits.

No, but you don’t get it.

This company DID give a fuck! They are unionized and protected by extensive contracts that carefully monitor and ensure their rights and their pay is very generous for what many times amount to literally one afternoon of recording.

Look: I completely defend fighting for worker rights. I defend…

I know more about unions than anyone posting here since I’ve been a national rep for a 32,000-member strong union.

This follows the assumption that all “creatives” are in a union. Know what the best way to replace a union voice actor is? Hiring a non-union voice actor of the same caliber.

Here’s something to think about as well: Anyone can walk into a room and read some lines. Not everyone can walk up to a chalkboard and solve a…

You just think that he would pirate if demos where still a thing and take it as a fact, then agument around that, it’s just funny logic. Also asking money upfront is not a demo, especially when the refund process can take up to seven days or longer if you’re outside the US.

Careful man, the holier than thou circle jerking is pretty strong around here.

Actually I have no intention of getting this game, for free or to pay for. Hell if I wanted to play a 3rd person visual story id finish ICO on the PS3 remaster I still havnt beat.

You know, there are games that release without DRM from the start and seem to sell fine.

I pirate just about EVERY game released on the PC. I own most of the good ones. Not everyone is the same, and hell yes im stealing your shit. Bring back demo’s and maybe id pirate less, but use Street Fighter 5 as an example. It relased as a $60 dollar, literal 1/3 of a game. Then the servers didnt work and it was a…
