Hollywood’s actors union called a strike against the online game “League of Legends” Tuesday, arguing that a company that produces the game attempted to get around the ongoing video game strike.

SAG-AFTRA members must immediately stop providing covered services to “League of Legends,” the union said. Until Tuesday, the game was one of several titles that remained unstruck. Formosa is a union signatory and provided voiceover services to “League of Legends,” according to SAG-AFTRA. “League of Legends is a game of champions. Instead of championing the union performers who bring their immense talent and experience to beloved characters, decision-makers at Formosa have chosen to try to evade and abandon them,” said Interactive Media Agreement Negotiating Committee Chair Sarah Elmaleh. “Such double-dealing is very disappointing from a longtime committed union signatory.”
