Yesterday’s dramatic announcement of strike action by video game actors over AI concerns may have less of an immediate impact on upcoming titles than first thought.
While the SAG-AFTRA union has indeed voted for voice artists and performance capture personnel to strike from today, a large swathe of projects now appear unaffected.
This includes any video game in development as of a year ago, including (for now) live service games, according to statements from both SAG-AFTRA and the companies the strike will hit, obtained by Kotaku reporter Ethan Gach.
