The deal includes significant wage increases, enhanced health and safety protections, and provisions for transparency and consent regarding the use of digital replicas in games. Both sides expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts during the negotiations, emphasizing the importance of protecting performers’ rights and livelihoods in a rapidly evolving industry.
"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 A.I. guardrails that defend performers' livelihoods in the A.I. age, alongside other important gains."
