The ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike against major video game publishers has reached nearly 300 days, with AI protections remaining a key issue. Although both sides agreed on many terms, including a 24% wage increase, they remain deadlocked on generative AI concerns. Spokespersons from both sides acknowledge the close proximity to a deal but have expressed frustrations over misleading public commentary and negotiations. SAG-AFTRA accused publishers of attempting to intimidate actors amidst negotiations, while also clarifying their commitment to the negotiations despite contentious back-and-forth.
SAG-AFTRA condemns the video game companies' attempt to sow confusion in the community by releasing misleading rhetoric about our ongoing negotiations, saying the notion the union would 'walk away' is absurd.
Audrey Cooling stated, 'We are hopeful the union will not choose to walk away when we are so close to a deal,' emphasizing the tension surrounding the stalled negotiations.
