1 min read
Summary
The video game actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, has announced that it has reached a deal with gaming companies, which is set to bring an end to a strike that began 11 months ago.
The dispute was over the use of voice and likeness of actors through the use of AI in gaming, with the union wanting to secure the livelihoods of actors as the technology develops.
The union said that, subject to approval and ratification in the coming weeks, a deal on the terms of the Interactive Media Contract had been agreed, without giving specific details of the agreement.
The deal is yet to be finalised and, until that happens, the union has said its members will remain on strike.
