Well I've always been of the opinion that writers are the lifeblood of most forms of entertainment.
If a movie or TV show doesn't have a good script, it's not a good movie.
If a book doesn't have a good author, it's not a good book.
If a game doesn't have good writing, it's not a good game.
So therefore I support the strike. It's not just about added benefits for the writers, it's about the defense of the importance of writing. It's also a statement of the greed behind television industry, and it'll spark awareness that the execs are ripping the writers off.
The writers TRIED to make decent demands, but despite that they were refused by the greedy studio heads. They're weren't being heard, and so they needed to make themselves heard.
