June 11, 2025 - 17:41
In a significant development, SAG-AFTRA has decided to suspend its strike against video game companies, signaling a potential return to work for many involved in the industry. The union had previously taken a strong stance on various issues, particularly regarding the implications of artificial intelligence on the future of voice and performance capture roles.
This decision comes after extensive negotiations and discussions aimed at addressing the concerns of its members. The union's leadership emphasized the importance of safeguarding the rights and livelihoods of voice actors and performance artists in an evolving technological landscape.
While the suspension of the strike opens the door for workers to resume their roles, the union remains committed to advocating for fair practices and protections in the face of advancing AI technologies. Members are hopeful that this move will lead to improved working conditions and a more secure future for those in the gaming industry.
