Agreed.

Are Republicans ‘rich assholes’ or are they ‘poor methheads’? 

Leftists can’t meme, nor can they thing of anything to say other than ‘bootlicker’. 

Are we seriously talking about her wages from 25 years ago for a niche Japanese game that took a major risk on making full English voiceovers, had most of the cast perform under fake names SPECIFICALLY due to being a non-union job (including Hale herself), one of the best known facts about its voiceovers?

Pay us more because we never knew said thing would be popular/successful and now want more. On new jobs with how intensive modern Performance work is go nuts and get those residuals but to try and retroactively ask for more when it isn’t in the contract is sad.

OK, but especially with Ray Liotta, you have a person who has a significant amount of market power, an agent, etc. If he thinks the pay for Vice City isn’t fair, he can just decide to not do it. Vice City came out in 2002, a little after Liotta had prominent roles in Hannibal and Blow, so it’s not like he was…

Says the jobless NPC.

Stop accepting pay you’ll be mad about in six months. It’s the definition of loser logic. 

Plus, the game was an unknown gamble back then, too. The video game voice acing ‘industry’ was in its infancy. CD based games with the ability to have full voiced characters was less than 4 years old since the PS1 came out in 1994 and MGS was in development starting in 1995 with release in 1998. Previously, any…

Actors are paid based on their marketing value (i.e. how much value their name brings to the product). Videogame voice actors bring very little marketing value. Nobody bought MGS because Jennifer Hale provided VO for it. Conversely, most people will pay to watch movies if their favorite actors are in them.

It basically boils down to actor expectations vs developer expectations. Actors expect to get royalties, developers don’t, so the pay per hour is less relevant to actors than it is to developers.

If she wanted to be paid on performance, she could have asked for royalties. As it turns out, she wanted guaranteed money. As such, how well the game did is of no concern to her. If you want to be rewarded when something does well, you need to be prepared to be punished when it fails.

Ok well there you go. But on to the second part is that amount of voice acting something that could be done in a day or weeks or more? I mean say she could do it in 2 days, that’s $600/day or about $75/hour, assuming an 8 hour day. I mean saying you got paid $1200 to work on a game that went on to make $175 million,…

Not to mention, it was a much much different time now than it was in 1998.

Considering the game was done as a non-union job and everybody used pseudonyms, I’m not shocked to hear it also paid terribly. I hope the later games paid better but I also would not be shocked if they didn’t either.

Nobody knew how huge MSG would become when she recorded those lines.  Nobody forced her to take the gig.  If it didn’t pay enough she shouldn’t have agreed to it.  Should they pay more?  Sure.  Did anyone force her to accept their offer?  No.  

Burchett told CNN that the Lord gave him the answer of whether to vote for or against McCarthy. So in his mind, if you question his decision, you’re really questioning God.

The reason is much simpler and much stupider: Trump hump Putin Russia good. 

“When someone mocks me like that, and mocks my religion, and honestly, the Bible is pretty clear about God being mocked, so that’s what sealed it right there for me,”

Can’t we just not send money to either?
