SAG-AFTRA calls for a strike against League of Legends


SAG-AFTRA talent is no longer allowed to work on League.

Formosa Interactive is a support studio that offers assistance to other game developers in a range of disciplines, including art, production, sound design, voiceover, and more. When that was unsuccessful, SAG-AFTRA claims that Formosa then secretly transferred the game to what the union described as a shell company and subsequently put out casting calls exclusively for non-union talent. According to SAG-AFTRA, the bargaining committee refused to extend AI protections to voice and motion performers, while the publishers argued that the terms they offered were fair.
