SAG-AFTRA goes on strike against video game companies

As of today, voice actors in the SAG-AFTRA union will stop working with a number of prominent game companies, says the Los Angeles Times. The union was asking for a new compensation structure that would allow actors to start receiving payments based on a game’s commercial success. The bonus system would allow actors to receive additional payments for every 2 million copies/downloads sold, with a cap at 8 million. They were also asking for improved safety conditions for voice-over and motion-capture performers. Video game companies countered proposing a 9% wage increase. Members of SAG-AFTRA are planning to picket one of the companies, Electronic Arts, at its location in Playa Vista on Monday. Other companies affected by the strike include Activision Blizzard, Take Two, Disney, and Warner Bros.
