Just because another profession is worse off doesn't mean it does not deserve sympathy imo. Why not hope for both professions' working conditions to improve ? On a side note, unionization is gaining traction amongst game devs, which will hopefully bring some (very needed) changes within the profession.

No one is allowed to complain about anything anymore in 2019 unless they are exactly the most unfortunate single human being on the entire planet.

Also the median developer probably makes far more than the median actor.

That has to do with consistency of employment. Most developers have reliable income; at any given time, approximately two percent of the actors guild is employed. Most actors, voice and otherwise, have day jobs; fifteen percent of actor's guild members make over sixteen thousand dollars from acting.
