and SAG-AFTRA should stop trying to go after someone who was never their target anyway, who already fulfill their needs

The whole industry is their target. Unions have the most bargaining power when as many workers are unionized as possible. Furthermore, lots of the VAs specifically want this agreement -- hence why they are striking for it.

these are the only parties being striked, I don't see Hoyoverse's name in it. yeah y'know what else unions can do? get too big to the point they want more benefits than they should and grow corrupt. besides, didn't SAG-AFTRA signed a deal with an AI company? the thing they're striking against?

pomeraniangod.bsky.social•8 days ago

SAG-AFTRA does not have the authority to initiate a strike against Hoyoverse, since Hoyoverse is not a signatory to their Interactive Media Agreement or any other form of agreement with the union. The Hoyoverse strikes are an independent initiative by the voice actors themselves.

this argument falls apart the moment you realize SAG-AFTRA's official account retweeted a post by one of their actors, and literally tagging Hoyo's 3 biggest games. and once again, if they're trying to negotiate against the use of AI why did they make a deal with an AI company?

SAG-AFTRA wants Hoyoverse to sign the interim agreement, yes. It is also true that SAG-AFTRA lacks the authority to declare a strike against Hoyoverse. Ergo, the strikes are an independent initiative by the VAs. The AI protections themselves are about ensuring consensual use of voices...

The benefits in question under this agreement mainly concern the use of generative AI by media companies and game developers.

I think it is pretty obvious that Hoyoverse is trying to prepare themselves for the implementation of generative AI down the line. A company who opposed its implementation would have, at minimum, been willing to sign the NAVA AI Rider agreement.

This is really scary to think about - I've seen job listings from both hoyo and anuttacon in relation to r&d on AI (including generative ai).
