SAG-AFTRA strike

Where would modern games be without voice actors and motion capture actors? They have become a key elements in the creation of video games (especially the so-called AAA titles), and yet, they don’t seem to be properly compensated. As a result, the SAG-AFTRA, the largest actors union in Hollywood, has officially called a strike early Friday morning against several prominent video game companies.
