Anyway, as bad as it is but he was a nobody before GTA IV & that's why he is cheap...right? tongue.gif
The place they need to touch on is the gray area mentioned in the article...like his voice was use in the ad and promotion but he get no cuts.

i think most of the VO or Actor in any game have the same problem.. pty them all...

i think they should get piece of the cake since without them the game gonna be dull.... imagine if gta with some sucky VO.. heheh i tot no one will play it.. or ppl will buy it and none will finish the story atleast...

It's the union.

I don’t blame Rockstar. I blame our union for not having the agreements in place to protect the creative people who drive the sales of these games.

Actually this voice actors have it pretty easy. Rockstar generally search for the most unknown voice in the world and ask them read couple hundred lines and bada bing bada boom 100k$.

Oh yeah, "Roman" actually was pretending in that one. It was just an act. He said so in a radio interview.

the game's awesome, but damn, i'd feel cheated if were niko's VO. at the same time, i don't wanna see another strike similar to the writer's strike happening anytime soon!

Eh I don't think he has a right to complain. It's not like R* cheated him, they probably offered him the contract up front and he accepted/agreed.
