Genshin Impact Voice Actors Demand Payment and Unionization

Voice actors for the popular video game Genshin Impact have expressed frustration over not being paid for months, with some struggling to pay rent. Corina Boettger and Brandon Winckler, who have voiced characters in the game, took to Twitter to share their grievances, stating that they are owed thousands of dollars. Winckler called for the game to be a "union production" with proper contracts and protections, while Boettger emphasized the need for unionization in the industry. The lack of payment highlights ongoing issues with payment practices in the video game industry, where unions are becoming more prevalent but face resistance from publishers.
