So. What happens if the developers just say, “screw it.” And use robots for voice actors? OR cheaper talent?
Something like the game *Portal* could’ve done this.
Video games are far less dependent on SAG actors compared to movies and TV and much less consolidated, so it will be interesting to see if they are able to get much from the strike.
If the corporations wanna find a way around paying people with the technology of the day its gonna happen.
90% of voice acting in games stinks anyways.
I hope voice actors can protect their jobs, and income. Some of the best games I’ve played this year were BG3, Forbidden West and God of War. I can’t imagine these games without the talents of the voice actors.
