Remember the SAG-AFTRA strike I posted about a couple years ago?

For reference.

Yeah, that is still ongoing. I'm not sure whether it rates a "Holy shit, really?!" or a mere eye roll, because of course it is still ongoing because of course the fat cats in the video game industry are still being utter shitbags about the whole thing.

Twitter thread embeds below.

Wil Wheaton's Twitter thread:

I stand in solidarity with @ashly_burch because #PerformanceMatters. https://t.co/8IZp2sDJPf

Square Enix could *easily* have Ashly return to voice Chloe, by signing an interim agreement with SAG-AFTRA. This is on them, not her or SAG

Here's why I am standing in solidarity will all my fellow SAG-AFTRA brothers and sisters: https://t.co/5ARk5LEnSg

My own Twitter thread in response:

The fact that the SAG-AFTRA strike for video games is still a thing shows just how incredibly shitty the video game industry is, in general.

For various and sundry reasons, which I've ranted about ad nauseam, the video game industry has been increasingly shitty for decades now.

That they are treating voice actors like shit is one of many such reasons. Come on, video game companies, stop being shitheels about this.

I'll just repost my own journal entry on the subject (comments included) rather than rehash the whole thing again. https://t.co/hMP8qzFUQQ

My thoughts on the matter are essentially the same now as then, except with the added exasperation that it is still a thing that's going on.

— Kane Magus (@KaneMagus) June 14, 2017

By that I mean I'm exasperated the video game industry isn't being more accommodating and is instead choosing to remain greedy shits.
