Interim Agreement that Hoyo didnt signed
Alo, this post is to alert people regarding why the drama is being stirred up badly. The link above is to the document of said agreement issued by the SAG dated 14th November 2024. The picture above is the specific clause in said agreement on why Hoyo didnt sign, not the AI protection clause.
Tldr, SAG wants to obtain Eng Dub exclusivity from game companies outside of the US. It will barr other game companies like hoyo from hiring Non-SAG Union Members and Non-Union members (WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE US) for their current and future work. If they don't sign, they continue on strike, citing "no ai protection" as a reason.
FYI, the Taft-Hartley Act is only available in the US, so Non-SAG Union members and Non Union members cannot be hired by game developers lest it will consider breach of contract.
Side rant: Game companies outside of US should just diversify their voice cast for Eng dub to avoid an "All Eggs in One Basket" scenario, like hiring from SIDE GLOBAL.
