I think they asked for that in the last strike, but I haven't seen it mentioned in this one. And some speculated it was only included for something they could drop in the eventual resolution as a form of compromise.
The Bayonetta lady was asking for profits and took to Twitter to boycott the game when she didn't get what she wanted. Claiming that she made those games what they are.
That's not this strike though.
I never said it was about this strike directly but instead overall how VAs have been pushing to get more than those on the front line of game creation.
You say VAs plural but then gave a singular example
Here is an article going back to 2015 talking about sag atfra asking for gross profits https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/09/22/developing-video-game-voice-actors-are-considering-a-strike.aspx
