SAG-AFTRA approves 2025 Video Game Agreement, officially concluding its strike

The new contract ensures "safety guardrails" around AI, which includes "consent and disclosure requirements for AI digital replica use and the ability for performers to suspend consent for the generation of new material during a strike".

Great to see. Now we'll see if this actually ends all of the voice actor strikes in the industry. I know there were a bunch that started due to this strike but actually hinge on the company's stance on allowing non-union members to remain non-union.

Well hopefully this means SAGs wanted clause that forced non-union actors to join SAG or leave a project after I think 3 (?) sessions on a job is NOT approved.

People can join a union if they want, but nobody should be forced to join a union against their will.
