Subject: Sign the petition to Help Save Video Game Performers

Body:

Friend,

I signed a petition on Action Network telling Activision Productions Inc., Blindlight LLC, Disney Character Voices Inc., Electronic Arts Productions Inc., Formosa Interactive LLC, Insomniac Games Inc., Llama Productions LLC, Take 2 Productions Inc., VoiceWorks Productions Inc., and WB Games Inc. & Ot to If We Don’t Get Your Help Now, It’s Game Over.

The actors who breathe life into the video games you love are facing an existential threat — and that’s why we have gone on strike. Since October 2022, we have been in negotiations with the Convenience Bargaining Group, which includes Activision Productions Inc., Blindlight LLC, Disney Character Voices Inc., Electronic Arts Productions Inc., Formosa Interactive LLC, Insomniac Games Inc., Llama Productions LLC, Take 2 Productions Inc., VoiceWorks Productions Inc., and WB Games Inc. After more than a year and a half of negotiations, it’s clear the video game companies won’t listen to us without a show of force. That’s why we need you, our community of fans, allies, labor advocates — anyone who cares about preserving the human element in the art we enjoy — to speak up. In an industry infamous for treating their workers as expendable, these employers seem to view performers as obstacles to their profits, rather than partners who help make it all possible. The companies have refused to plainly affirm, in clear and enforceable language, that they will protect all performers covered by this contract in their A.I. language. They want to replace the artistry, imagination and ingenuity of human storytelling with machine-generated performances and are banking on players not caring. To put it simply: to accept their provisions would not only put our ability to earn a living at risk, but fuel a race to the bottom for the quality of storytelling in video games. A.I. undoubtedly has its uses, and we’re not anti-technology. We simply want employers to provide the most basic protections against an emerging tool that has the potential for abuse. Please sign on to the letter below to add your voice to the chorus of those who support SAG-AFTRA video game performers. Please note: This page is goverened by SAG-AFTRA's online policy, available here.
