    I mean, werent the SAG terms putting Hoyo in a lose-lose situation if they sign it since they have some non-SAG actors which do not want to join SAG? If Hoyo signed the SAG agreement then they would have to either force the non-SAG actors to join SAG against their will or replace the non-SAG actors with a SAG actor if they intend to hire them more than 3 times.

    Sounds like SAG just wants total monopolistic control of the entire Voice Acting industry to me.

      Fuck off. Its been a long time coming for voice actors to unionize. Especially in the advent of AI “performance.”

      That’s not how unions work.

      My dude, unions without ‘monopolistic control’ have no teeth when negotiating with these parasitic companies. Collective bargaining is only as effective as how many people are in the collective.
