The official end of the strike will depend on the members' review and approval of the terms. While specifics of the deal remain undisclosed, SAG-AFTRA leadership, including Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, expressed gratitude for the efforts and sacrifices made by union performers during the long negotiation process, highlighting the importance of establishing necessary AI regulations.
"Everyone at SAG-AFTRA is immensely grateful for the sacrifices made by video game performers and the dedication of the Interactive Media Agreement Negotiating Committee throughout these many months of the video game strike."
"Patience and persistence has resulted in a deal that puts in place the necessary AI guardrails that defend performers' livelihoods in the AI age, alongside other important gains."
