Zenless Zone Zero and other games are already turning to scabs as negotiations grind on

Game actors have been on strike for over a year now, and while they say progress has been made in negotiations with companies like Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard, they also claim that publishers are refusing to budge on offering meaningful AI protections. A major sticking point in the ongoing fight is the use of “digital replicas” which could be used to replace game actors in the future, including during a future strike.

” SAG-AFTRA also accuses game companies of trying to get its members to turn on one another and of trying to “exploit” actors who don’t typically perform in games to fill roles during the ongoing strike. “I was replaced as Soldier 11 because I am unwilling to perform work not covered by a SAG Interim Agreement during a strike for AI protection, the outcome of which will determine the future of our industry,” Zenless Zone Zero’s Soldier 11 voice actor, Emeri Chase, wrote on social media today.
