SAG-AFTRA Video Game Performers will hold a picket outside Activision on October 16

Posted on by
SAG-Aftra Interactive Media Agreement

SAG-AFTRA will be holding a picket at Activision on Wednesday, October 16. SAG-AFTRA members who perform in video games went on strike against all video game companies signed to the Interactive Media Agreement, effective 12:01 a.m. on Friday, July 26.

SAG-AFTRA is striking this contract so that members working in interactive media (video games) can continue earning a living doing the job they love. Our members’ work and likenesses are being exploited by artificial intelligence, and video game companies have refused to offer a fair deal that addresses this existential threat.

Where: Activision Productions Inc.; 2701 Olympic Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90404      
When: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 9 a.m. – 12 Noon PT
