SAG-AFTRA‘s strike against major video game publishers will continue, as the actors union has extended contract negotiations with the employers. This comes after an inability to resolve the ongoing dispute over its Interactive Media Agreement after three days of scheduled talks concluded this week.
Per SAG-AFTRA, the new dates for returning to the table with the video game companies’ bargaining committee will be announced as soon as they are confirmed.
Prior to returning to the table with the corporate gaming side Wednesday, SAG-AFTRA announced more than 120 video game titles had signed either SAG-AFTRA’s proposed Interim Media Agreement or the indie developer-focused Tiered-Budget Independent Interactive Agreement, as the strike is largely handled on a title by title basis rather than studio by studio.
