      They did hire the Squad for SWTOR. Although that was developed in the US and not Canada, not sure if that makes a difference

      Anyway, why would unions lead to the same five people always getting hired? It's not like you always see the same construction companies in union states or whatever, the point isn't to be anticompetitive

      It is to a degree, the whole point is it means if you want to hire from the union you can *only* hire from the union, so it's a binary choice

      I take it the reason people don't join the union is bc they have to charge more then? In any case I can't imagine Joe McUnion the VA who is just getting started but joined the union gets paid the same rate as Nolan North, so it's still a financial cost to hire the big names?

      It's the catch 22 of to get the union you have to work on a bunch of shows, and for animation (voice work) almost all of it is union. If you're an established union voice actor, you'll get continual work.

      Every animated show I work on will end up having voice actors from other shows I've worked on. You see the same stable of people over and over.

      I don't quite get it. I know some professional groups that do some union like roles, like the Science Fiction Writers of America, require x (roles/publications) to get in, but if it's a closed union shop how can that even work?

      It's just the way it is. Like for screen actors you have to put in so many hours on non-union shows before you apply for your SAG card. Same thing for IATSE for crew.

      A long time ago someone tried to give me shit for saying I was non-union on my voiceover website and I had to get into how in the VO industry it's not a matter of choice, there is no way to join the union without doing a great deal of non-union work first

      So why is Life is Strange Before the Storm evil for being non union then?

      Well, it's a practical matter of how much people get paid The anger was over the idea that they were going to charge customers AAA-level money but pay indie wages to the people working on the game

          (I mean they didn't, the game was priced at $29.99 as I recall, but I see what you mean)

          The real benefit of union isn't even so much the rates (though it's nice) it's benefits and restrictions on hours. This is why VFX will likely never go union. Budgets would double.
