SAG-AFTRA voters supported a video game industry strike by over 98%.
SAG-AFTRA members have voted to authorize a strike against the video game industry. The authorization passed with 98.32% voting in favor, with 27.47% percent of eligible voters participating. The vote does not guarantee that a strike of the video game industry will take place, and it remains to be seen whether one will actually take place. However, union negotiators will now be authorized to call a strike if they choose to do so.
"It's time for the video game companies to stop playing games and get serious about reaching an agreement on this contract," said Drescher."The result of this vote shows our membership understands the existential nature of these negotiations, and that the time is now for these companies — which are making billions of dollars and paying their CEOs lavishly — to give our performers an agreement that keeps performing in video games as a viable career.
SAG-AFTRA Video Game Strike: Impact on TV and FilmAs noted on SAG-AFTRA's website, any potential strike of the video game industry will not"affect the timing or expected progress of negotiations or our strike on the TV/Theatrical contract. A strike authorization vote on this Agreement will not impact the TV/Theatrical strike.
SAG-AFTRA Video Game Strike: What Games Will be ImpactedReaders should note that any potential strike would not have any impact on games that are already completed, or set to be released in the near future. This means that, while a strike could have an impact on Insomniac Games, recording on Marvel's Spider-Man 2 would be long complete before that point. However, games like Marvel's Wolverine could be impacted. The most immediate impact would be on games set to release in 2024.
