    I support this if it’s about career VAs, not celebrities that happen to do VA.

      So ultimately, it’s about the union, and the celebrities are a key way the union leverages its members to get game studios to sign union contracts.

      If studios want the big celebrity actor to say 5 or 6 lines in its game, then they need to sign with SAG-AFTRA, and that means accepting some rather strict restrictions on hiring on-union VAs for the other rolls.
