Whoops

Whoops, Looks like I made a minor mistake and bumped a 7 month old blog. To tell you the truth, I'm a bit surprised. I guess I was tracking the forum by content instead of date--at the very least I guess I should use a little bit of both. But it brought to mind something that I think is interesting. I replied to a 7 month old thread excitedly? I guess some topics are ageless or at least remain relevant for an extended period. Which I think is rare is the gaming world. Only a modest number of new games hold their value over long periods. And forum discussions about new games less so. Anyways, I apologize. It won't happen again. In other news, I seems that voice actors are a little upset that their wages have not kept pace with with the growth of the video game industry in which they work. A real dilemma to be sure. The article I read stated that the actor, who has worked on such games as Halo and GTA, made about $30,000 a year acting and did voice-overs to supplement that income. However, as we know the gaming industry is growing and despite concerns of video game piracy the gaming industry makes boat loads of cash. I'd be interested to see if the rest of the folks that work on creating games feel that their wages are not keeping up with the growth of the gaming industry. Anyone have any stats out there. I'll take a look and get back to you as well. What do you think?
