    Actors have unions. Actors also get royalties or a percent of sales.

    Afaik video game workers have neither unions nor do they get a % of the profits.

      Not all actors are in a union, and no they don’t get royalties or a percent of sales, that depends on the contract.

        Are you speaking on the planet, or just in America?

        Last I heard, for America, they have to be in the union, once they have been discovered, and want to work for major studios. Otherwise, they can’t do the work.
