Was listening to Dave Fennoy on the GameOverGreggy Show just this morning. Guy actually said something to the effect of, "Well those guys work every day, we only work for a few weeks," as an argument for why they deserve royalties compared to everyone else.

Best Example...

When you talk to someone about going to see a movie, you might say, "I'm going to see the new [actor's name] flick."

When talking about being excited for a new game I've never said, "Can't wait to pick up that new [voice actor's name] game."

Genre is huge when debating this topic, and what adds to the complexity of the issue. The guy doing Link's "hyat!" for the next Zelda certainly shouldn't expect the same type of residuals as someone reciting hundreds of lines.

I guess his point was financial security. As if game development has so little turnover or something.

So, do you know any voice actor's names that hindered your enjoyment of a game(s) with their poor performances? Do you make it a point to avoid games they've worked on in the future? Or do you tend to make your gaming purchases on differing criteria?
