Show me the money!
Yet another R.net heads-up... this one is a blog entry from Wil Wheaton, discussing the recent agreement between the Screen Actors Guild and video games publishers (we mentioned it last week). Wil's point of view is that actors deserve more. There's a well-written counterpoint over at Game Girl Advance, suggesting that while everyone might WANT more, actors aren't any more entitled to residuals than, say, animators - but that if publishers had to pay EVERYONE residuals, nobody would publish games. The whole issue is becoming more important, as gaming continues to make inroads into mainstream entertainment, and budgets (and profits) continue to climb. Stay tuned - we may have something more in-depth about this in the near future. (Louis Wu 15:52:21 UTC)
