This was mentioned by the chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland:
The video game industry generates billions of dollars a year. The driving force behind that success is the creative people who design and build those games. Frankly, it’s surprising that these game studios have learned nothing from the lessons of last year: that our members can and will demand fair and equitable treatment of AI, and that the public supports us in this.
If this movement manages to get as big as the actors and writers of last year, it’s possible that there will be delayed projects, especially those that require people who capture motion and that’s in the names. take two, It is very possible that GTA 6 For time and form will not arrive 2025. We’ll have to wait and see if the talks die down quickly or if the studios delay their games.
