Troy Baker on Being Treated Fair in the Gaming Industry

Check out Twinfinite's interview with Troy about the Screen Actors Guild:

Last year, voice acting members of the Screen Actors Guild came forward to say publishers unfairly treat voice actors, suggesting long recording sessions damage talents’ voices and throats, limiting their job opportunities. When we spoke with him, Troy questioned Wil Wheaton’s use of the word “fair” in the debate. 

“If we truly are being fairly treated, then we should be doing this for free because this is something that we love doing,” Baker said. “If you genuinely love it, the fact that someone pays me to do this is a value added benefit.”
“I think what a lot of people are trying to do is institute an archaic system that doesn’t necessarily apply to this industry – the TV and film model into the video game industry.”
Troy also communicated concern over rewards to developers, and who across the industry is left behind when it comes to bonus compensation. “There are a lot of people in the industry that don’t get any bonus compensation,” Baker said. “QC [Quality Control] people spend eight hours a day for months, if not years, testing a game to make sure that when it ships it doesn’t have any bugs; how about those people get something bonus?”
