SAG-AFTRA announced this afternoon that several studios have signed an agreement with the union, agreeing to a tiered budget or interim agreement, which includes common sense A.I. protections.
Eighty different video games have agreed to the terms and will be following through on them; the majority of them coming out of indie studios or smaller game companies, none of them being the major studios currently in negotiation with the union after they went on strike in July. We have several quotes from SAG-AFTRA and some of the studio heads below from today's announcement.
SAG-AFTRA has enabled us to work with top-tier talent using standardized union agreements, which has been a huge benefit to the quality and consistency of voicework in our games.' SAG-AFTRA Interactive Media Agreement Negotiating Committee Chair Sarah Elmaleh said, 'This labor action is about creating work with sufficient A.I. protections. The sheer volume of companies that have signed SAG-AFTRA agreements demonstrates how reasonable those protections are.
