Pursuant to the strike called by SAG-AFTRA members who perform in video games against all studios signed to the Interactive Media Agreement (effective July 26), video game performers are set to organize a picket at Disney. This action comes as part of a broader effort to advocate for better working conditions and fair compensation within the industry.
The strike reflects ongoing frustrations among voice actors regarding issues such as pay, working hours, and the use of artificial intelligence in character portrayal. As Disney is a major player in the gaming sector, the picket aims to draw attention to the concerns of performers who feel their contributions are undervalued.
Participants in the picket are expected to include a diverse group of voice actors from various popular video games, all united in their call for change. The event is anticipated to garner significant media attention, highlighting the importance of fair treatment in the evolving landscape of video game production.
