VAs are chronically underpaid across the industry, so regardless of what the average is, I wouldn't use it as a baseline. $4000 for the third game in a popular series is extremely low, especially considering it comes with no royalties, which is how VAs can stay afloat when their income is inconsistent. People should be rewarded for helping contribute to something that ends up doing well and resonating with the public - instead we get devs and VA getting paid pennies while the publisher pockets everything.

Well, the reason I want to use it as a baseline is that if it's just a standard case of underpayment then that's an industry-wide complaint, having nothing to do with Bayonetta specifically and therefore not justifying something like a boycott (though the standard itself may very well be reason for union action such as a strike).
