UNION 101… episode 2! @joshuasterlingvo describes the history of @sagaftra , why it exists, who it protects, and what labor organizations do today.

Last month Kotaku.com reported that Arc Raiders has started replacing AI voices with human ones after fans expressed disappointment in AI generated voice lines in the game.
We at GPM believe that humans are what make videogames great and that AI can't replicate the amazing choices that performers can bring to characters and stories! 🙌

📢 INDUSTRY NEWS 📢
Kotaku.com reports on SAG-AFTRA's "Do Not Work Order" for Mega Man: Dual Override after Capcom failed to initiate the signatory process. As a result, actor Ben Diskin will no longer be reprising his role as Mega Man.
There speculation about how Capcom may be trying to avoid agreeing to AI protections in the union contract. AI protections were one of the key points of negotiation in the SAG-AFTRA'S last Interactive Strike.
Capcom has yet to respond to Kotaku. We will update when we have more information.
GPM supports the right of all performers to work with protections! ✊️
