Videogame Performers' Union Hails New 80-Game Agreement as Preserving Human Creativity
This week after striking for over a month, videogame performers reached agreements with 80 games this week, reports the Associated Press. "SAG-AFTRA announced the agreements with the 80 individual video games on Thursday. Performers impacted by the work stoppage can now work on those projects. "...
The interim agreement secures wage improvements, protections around " exploitative uses" of artificial intelligence and safety precautions that account for the strain of physical performances, as well as vocal stress. Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA's national executive director and chief negotiator, said in a statement that companies signing the agreements are "helping to preserve the human art, ingenuity and creativity that fuels interactive storytelling." As Deadline previously reported, AI is the one and only issue at the crux of this strike, as the union has managed to find common ground with the developers on every other provision.
