Both aim to specifically support early-career game developers.<\/p>\n<p>As SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director &#038; Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said in <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sagaftra.org\/sag-aftra-announces-new-video-game-agreements-students-and-game-jams\" target=\"_blank\">a press release<\/a>, &#8220;Our members are passionate about this industry and they want to be able to participate in these types of projects where the future of video games is being shaped.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are certain requirements for a project to qualify for either waiver, but both are mutually beneficial for actors and game devs alike.<\/p>\n<p>SAG-AFTRA (the Screen Actors Guild\u2013American Federation of Television and Radio Artists), which represents video game actors, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/8-months-into-their-strike-videogame-voice-actors-say-the-industrys-latest-proposal-is-filled-with-alarming-loopholes-that-will-leave-our-members-vulnerable-to-ai-abuse\/\" target=\"_blank\">has been on strike for exactly 8 months<\/a> as of March 26. Due to the strike, actors are currently not working on new projects with major game studios, so any opportunity to work on projects <em>without<\/em> breaking the strike can be a big help. These new waivers open the door for new work opportunities for actors while also supporting up-and-coming game developers.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering why the SAG-AFTRA strike has lasted so long, the answer is AI. Video game actors are fighting for protections against AI, which is a growing threat to their careers and the future of gaming as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Horizon Zero Dawn actor <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/i-feel-worried-about-this-art-form-unsurprisingly-the-real-aloy-from-horizon-isnt-a-fan-of-ai-aloy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ashley Burch spoke out about the issue<\/a> after a demo clip leaked online showing an AI version of her character. Burch&#8217;s response summed up the situation well, highlighting the fact that it&#8217;s not the technology itself that&#8217;s the problem, but the lack of protections against <em>misuse<\/em> or the use of an actor&#8217;s likeness without their permission.<\/p>\n<p>As Burch said, &#8220;I feel worried not because the technology exists, not even because game companies want to use it. Of course they do, they always want to use technological advancements. I just imagine a video like this coming out that <em>does<\/em> have someone&#8217;s performance attached to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we lose this fight, that person would have no recourse. They wouldn&#8217;t have any protections, any way to fight back. And that possibility, It makes me so sad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As long as protections against situations like that remain off the table, the SAG-AFTRA strike will continue. Game studios are starting to feel the impact of the strike, too \u2013 League of Legends is reportedly <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/moba\/league-of-legends-hit-by-sag-aftra-union-action-as-riot-delays-english-vo-to-respect-the-ongoing-strike-over-ai-though-voice-actors-think-it-could-be-doing-more-to-help\/\" target=\"_blank\">recycling old voiceover clips<\/a> and a new Destiny 2 episode launched in February <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/destiny-2-is-the-latest-game-to-feel-the-sag-aftra-strike-as-it-warns-heresy-will-be-missing-an-unknown-chunk-of-voiced-dialogue\/\" target=\"_blank\">missing voice over lines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"e8050aa8-c877-44c1-b411-3280fb13756a\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sag-aftra-makes-exception-for-student-devs-and-game-jams-in-8-month-videogame-performance-strike-im-thrilled-that-these-types-of-projects-can-now-be-accommodated.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"e8050aa8-c877-44c1-b411-3280fb13756a\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/sag-aftra-makes-exception-for-student-devs-and-game-jams-in-8-month-videogame-performance-strike-im-thrilled-that-these-types-of-projects-can-now-be-accommodated\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAG-AFTRA is making a move to support student game developers amidst its ongoing strike with a new exception that will allow striking video game actors to work on student projects and game jams.
