Writing for LA Times, Ben Fritz and Richard Verrier have penned an article looking at recently proposed changes to Screen Actors Guild contracts dictating compensation for videogame voice-over.

A group of Hollywood heavyweights have opposed the contract, saying it amounts to more work for less money.
