In this week's episode of the Unified Gamers Network, we delve into the pivotal moment for video game performers as SAG-AFTRA union members cast their votes on a groundbreaking new contract. This agreement, if ratified, promises to end a nearly three-year battle over AI and performers' rights, offering increased pay, rights to likeness, and protections against the misuse of AI. Join us as we explore the potential industry-wide impact of this vote, which could set new standards and possibly avert an 11-month strike. Please tune in to understand what this means for the future of gaming and the rights of those who bring our favorite characters to life.
