Update: Looks like Burnie came out of the woodworks and purchased the rights to Rooster Teeth! Even if they just archive everything (if they haven’t already) I’m happy they have the rights back again

UrLogicFails, do gaming w SAG-AFTRA Calls Strike Against Major Video Game Companies After Nearly 2 Years Of Contract Talks

I’m definitely a little late to the party to comment on this thread, but it blows my mind that any organization would pick a flight with SAG-AFTRA at this point (or the WGA, though that’s not relevant to THIS issue).

SAG has already proven they will hold out pretty much indefinitely and the effects of the joint SAG/WGA strike are still being felt in Hollywood now.

Is the siren song of AI so alluring that companies are willing to die on this hill? At its peak hype, I could see executives salivating at the potential savings; but my understanding is there has been pretty substantial pushback to projects made with AI (or tech with AI in it). I can’t imagine that these large studios think their potential savings would outweigh the potential losses in sales; but I guess that’s why I’ll never be a Fortune 500 CEO…

I wish SAG-AFTRA nothing but the best in their endeavor for protections against AI.

Kick management in the dick.

Fuck their insatiable greed.

I can’t wait to watch the YouTube “How did this get made?!” series on the upcoming AI voice acted games that bomb so hard that only angry YouTube personalities remember them.

If their industry is like mine with unions, a lot of video game characters are going to have thick Indian accents.

It seems weird that the union can put up a vote for a strike against an agreement and then almost a year later actually call that strike into play. So many things have changed, and I’m sure that contract has changed a lot since then.

I’d love to know what the final piece says that they just can’t come to an agreement. It’s clearly about AI voice acting, but the detail matter.

EveningPancakes,

Going on strike is a last resort measure. People’s livelihoods are at stake when you go on strike. People won’t be able to pay their mortgage/rent when they’re out of work. The union has tried their best to negotiate on behalf of their members, but ultimately they made the call that negotiation was going the way they wanted for their members.

wccrawford,

Right, which is why it’s put to a vote so that the members themselves can make that call. And that’s why I think the vote was a year ago with a contract that was probably quite a bit different.

I clearly don’t know the details and they do, but from the outside, it looks weird.

It was never going to make its date.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Apparently there was a contact exception for GTA VI.

Good. I’ll happily see my favorite games delayed for this. AI isn’t a huge threat to the movie or TV industry actors, but it’s a massive threat to video game actors. It’s absolutely shameful when a handful of studios receive massive profits and they want to shortchange the people at the bottom.

This paired with the news yesterday of studios starting to unionize gives me hope. It’s about time, they’ve been taking advantage of their workers for so long, they deserve to see what that does long term. I hope they lose 10x from a strike and unionization vs just paying their employees fairly.

lemmyvore,

Depends on who wins the election. Trump would come out with anti-union legislation so the large studios might decide to hold out for that.

strongarm,

It’s not a huge threat to the movie and tv industry yet, but it could be soon, from writing scripts, to using actors voices and then likenesses, then eventually crafting scenes and episodes based entirely on prompts and AI its probably only a matter of time, unless regulation and Unions stand in the way.

It’s worth noting too that the games industry these days is bigger than movies, so I think this situation is a good thing for SAG AFRA to stand firm on.

I remember watching Red vs. Blue back before it was even on Youtube. Fuck I’m old. That was the era of the internet that, for me, was at its best. Before everything became a collection of solidified super services and people made shows by just moving a character model in Halo around. As others have said, the true end of an era. Also RIP to Monty Oum. Man was an auteur. Horny weirdo, too, but also an auteur.

I wonder what’s gonna happen to the Slow Mo Guys? They’re about the last roster teeth thing I watch these days.

Crozekiel,

I didn’t think they were affiliated with RT, except that Gavin worked for both.

It’s a real bummer that we’ll never get the conclusion to RWBY after 9 volumes. Even if the quality has been on a steady decline since volume 3, and volume 9 itself was a fucking joke, I’d still prefer to see the story wrapped up. I was mostly just in it for Jen Taylor though, so hopefully she does something else awesome.

Taako_Tuesday,

Man I’m glad I stopped watching after volume 3 then. I remember thinking that the early seasons weren’t great aside from some action sequences, and that maybe once they got the ball rolling they could do the story more justice. But it needed to get better after V3, not worse lol.

Isn’t RWBY that American-made Anime-shaped object?

I stopped watching anything made by their network around the time they started shilling fake boner pills and sweeping scandals under the rug. I never saw RvB but I came in as a fan for a while of Let’s Play and Funhaus, before they acquired it. I even contributed to First for a little while.

They had a lot of momentum in those days, but I think they tried to grow beyond their ability. Most of the new programming they developed was inferior to the lightning-in-a-bottle stuff they were initially built on. They tried to expand their business while hamstrung by their own internal limitations. They did suffer from some bad luck, but really, they mostly self-destructed in slow motion.

It’s hard enough to build an internet company based on algorithms and originating on someone else’s platform. They tried to navigate independently as long as they could, but really, when fans aren’t responding exponentially to your investment, you can either sell out or die right away. Props for twenty years of capitalizing on early internet fame. But to me, this is an overdue death. Basing your brand around being a dick was bound to have a shelf life.
