The article discusses the significant impact of the SAG-AFTRA strike on various video games, particularly Destiny 2. The developer, Bungie, revealed that several characters in the new Heresy update were silent because of the strike affecting voice actors. Over 2,500 performers are striking for better contracts with protections against AI. While some companies have signed interim agreements to continue production, many prominent studios are still affected, highlighting the ongoing negotiations that have lasted over two years.
Artificial intelligence reportedly remains the big sticking point in negotiation. Generally speaking, SAG-AFTRA is looking for protections for its voice actors from being exploited by generative AI.
You may notice certain voice lines being silent in-game, Bungie explained in a blog regarding the impact of the SAG-AFTRA strike on Destiny 2.
