There is an interesting issue going on in the entertainment world. Voice actors (for video games) are contemplating going on strike. Now, I won't go into what they want or the usefulness of unions as that really isn't the point of this blog. But it might have a major affect on MMO's and especially SWTOR. I have no idea how their demands would affect the game financially.
BioWare uses union voice actors, so if the union goes on strike that is going to be a pretty big deal for the game. With the game so focused on story, a strike will certainly delay production, and thus story content. MMO players (subscribers) don't take content gaps well, so it could be really bad depending on how long it goes on.
I remember the Writers Guild strike a while ago, that screwed up some movies (ahem, Quantum of Solace) and TV Shows (Heroes). I really hope that it doesn't adversely affect SWTOR. It's possible they have all the voice work for Season One (Fallen Empire) completed already. Who knows what other projects they have going which will need it though and Season Two, of course.
