Video Game Studio Lightspeed L.A. Signs Interim Agreement With SAG-AFTRA to Stay in Production
SAG-AFTRA has reached an interim deal with Lightspeed L.A. to continue video game production amid the union's strike against major game publishers.
Video game company Lightspeed L.A. has signed a SAG-AFTRA interim Interactive Media Agreement that allows it to continue production with union performers even as the strike against other major videogame publishers winds into its sixth week. The union is asking for tougher curbs on the use of AI to create digital replicas of performers and their voice or likeness, as well as higher minimums to address the impact of inflation in recent years. “I am delighted to be partnering with Lightspeed L.A. Their upcoming game may be set in a world of technology run amok, but by agreeing to equitable terms, they’re working to make sure that the real future will not be a dystopian one for performers,” said SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.
