That's shit and you know it. Contract or not, it's still morally wrong, and a big legal/illegal gray area that varies at times, but it's clear somebody's getting screwed over and it ain't usually the guys up top.That boils down to whatever contract you sign for the job. If you sign away your rights to your work or talent that's a "you" problem.
That's a "you" problem. Try to keep up with current events.I've not heard of bad treatment of voice over actors in a long time.
That's a 30-year-old+ franchise, and the voice actors get paid because they costly have to dump new episodes material. So they're in a stable life cycle. Not every voice actor is or was lucky in that industry, nor lucked out enough to get in the long running anime franchise.And typically that's been with anime dubbed companies like Funimation that expect the guy playing Goku to be able to scream 40 hours a week.
No that's still making excuses for a crappy system. We've already been through this and I'm not doing it again. That's your problem: whether it's social issues, economics, industry, you still either somewhat favor of an old and broken system, or become a corporate apologists for the people in charge. Or you pull a "That's the way it is; what are you going to do about it?" & "I don't see the problem!". Which are not good arguments. Those are just lame cop outs. None of these voice actors, nor most developers for that matter not in high positions (large pay in this case), get large residuals for putting in their talents and performing at their absolute best. Especially if it's a big franchise. Most of these mega companies know they can pay a majority of these voice actors three times over and they still wouldn't lose anything. Movie actors and TV actors get the residuals just fine. The same apply to the voice acting in the animation, cartoon, or video game industry. Some voice actors do, but that's usually in the Western animation side, but even then not many of them get it.Video game wise, the complaint is mostly that the actors don't feel paid enough which again makes no sense if you signed up for a job paying X, then why moan when you made X?
What do you think I was referring to. Ubisoft and Activision has screwed over voice actors multiple times (aside from Big names celebrities from Hollywood), but they just don't get recorded as much as a sexual harassment. The sexual harassment is much worse; I agree. Yeah both can be improved by getting rid of everybody from this top is starting from scratching put it in people who actually care about what they're doing. But since one company got bought out by another company that's overly greedy, not much is going to change in terms of quality games. The other company is still the same, but try to pretend like they didn't do anything like usual. Which is why I will continue to buy from neither of them.I honestly don't remember what incident you are talking about with Ubisoft and AVTI. Genuinely, if we spoke about it I don't remember. I mean....Ubisoft and ATVI are shit but I can't recall something dealing with voice actors, only sexual assault...which is worse.
