SAG-AFTRA IS STRIKING AGAIN

SAG-AFTRA IS STRIKING AGAIN

This time, for video games.

Some key information:

They are striking so all performers will have protection against AI

The struck companies are those signed to the Interactive Media Agreement

The listed companies by SAG-AFTRA include Activision Productions Inc, Blindlight LLC, Disney Character Voices Inc, Electronic Arts Productions Inc, Formosa Interactive LLC, Insomniac Games Inc, Llama Productions LLC, Take 2 Productions Inc, VoiceWorks Productions Inc and WB Games Inc. Though this may not be everyone.

Important things from the FAQ:

Some games from struck companies are non-struck (due to the Collective Bargaining Agreement still being in effect)

Localisations will be affected if covered under the Interactive Localization Agreement

Actors who are part of SAG-AFTRA cannot work for non-union or independent/low-budged productions during the strike unless they are signed to an Interim Interactive Media Agreement, Interim Interactive Localization Agreement or a Tiered-Budget Independent Interactive Media Agreement

Similarly to the previous strike, struck work cannot be promoted. This includes accepting awards for performances in struck games. This does NOT include hosting/performing a skit at an awards show and San Diego Comic Con (the latter due to the close proximity to the calling of the strike)

As implied by the point above, SAG-AFTRA performers cannot partake in panels related to struck games or companies, including finished games produced by struck companies

The best way to check if a game is struck is to use the search tool provided by SAG-AFTRA

Most importantly: You are NOT being asked to stop playing video games, as highlighted in the FAQ for creators and streamers. This does NOT cross the picket line. Though please do talk about the strike and show your solidarity

I expect to see the same amount of support from y'all that we saw in the last strike. Just because it's video games doesn't mean performers deserve any less support and protection.

Also please reblog with any additions (with sources - we are NOT here to spread misinformation)! And please correct me if anything listed here is incorrect.

My darlings. My loves. My Roman Empire.

When all is said and done I hope they get to find some peace.

His pride weighs on him, seeing such a beautiful spirit, knowing that, in a way, his mistakes have killed her. His heart.

Some lovely Sten x Mahariel softness for the soul before I throw some angst at y'all.

Almost caught up with posting here. Just a few animatics I've done and a short comic and we'll be all caught up

this series single-handedly changed the trajectory of my life

Animatic inspired by my fic Red Glow.

Random Solavellan angst idea that I'll prob never use:

.

The crimson was soaking into the mud. Lavellan wasn't sure when the rain started. She could barely feel the droplets on her face. The deep gash to her abdomen was visible through her torn armour, seeping bright red blood.

There was no pain anymore, washed away with the rain. The noise of the battle field was like she was listening through water. Suddenly she was jostled as someone lifted her. She thought she could hear someone calling her but they sounded so far away. She forced her eyes to focus.

Solas stared down at her, eyes wide and face twisted like he was in pain. She tried to sit up but her strength was failing her.

Oh.

She was dying, wasn't she?

Her thoughts seemed to clear as Solas tried desperately to heal her. She could faintly feel the warm glow of his magic.

"Your magic can't heal this..."

"Vhenan, don't." His voice was rough and broken, and she wasn't sure if it was the rain or if he was crying.

Her fingers twitched to wipe them away but couldn't will her arms to move.

"Vhenan, please... stay." He looked so much like the broken man who had left her that evening in Crestwood. Yet his words were so different now.

Lavellan tried to smile for him.

"I wish I could Vhenan... I wanted..." her breath trembled. "I wanted one last dream with you..."

.

THE END.

Came to me during my walk home from work and I already have too many fic WIPs to make new ones.

Doomed by the narrative Solavellan rots in my skull.
