Potential Resolution for Video Game Voice Actor Strike
The ongoing strike involving video game voice actors may soon reach a conclusion. SAG-AFTRA, the union responsible for negotiating the interactive media agreement that oversees performances in video games, has revealed plans to resume negotiations on Wednesday, October 23rd.
Background of the Negotiations
SAG-AFTRA has been engaged in discussions with representatives from various video game companies—including major players like Activision, Insomniac Games, Take-Two Interactive, and Electronic Arts—for nearly two years regarding a new interactive media agreement. In September of the previous year, members of SAG-AFTRA voted to authorize a strike if an agreement could not be reached. Following this authorization, picketing commenced in July after formal approval was granted for striking.
This development highlights the ongoing challenges within the industry as both sides strive to find common ground.
