- SAG-AFTRA members who perform in video games are on strike since July 25, demanding better compensation and informed consent for the use of their likenesses by artificial intelligence.
- Negotiations began in October 2022, and over a year later, members voted to strike after employers did not agree to protect all performers in their AI language.
- Chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland emphasized the industry's massive profits and expressed disappointment in the lack of lessons learned by video game studios from past experiences.
- The negotiations could cause further delays in highly anticipated games like Take-Two's GTA 6, set for next year and potentially a major hit in 2025. The agreement also affects games that began production before the end of last year.
