LOS ANGELES, USA – Cissy Jones isn’t asking to be paid millions of dollars to give video games their voice, but the actor, and others like her performing under a Screen Actors Guild’s video game contract say they need more money to cope with rising costs of living.
In May, roughly 11,500 Writers Guild of America members had walked off the job. The writers union reached a preliminary labor agreement with major studios on Sunday. With video game console sales up in 2023, PlayStation maker Sony said in July it expects to sell 25 million units of PS5 consoles this year, a record for any PlayStation device.In July, Sega workers formed the largest multi-department video game union in the United States, after Microsoft’s video game testers formed their first US labor union in January.
For video game performers, the union is also calling for more safety measures for motion capture performers, who wear markers or sensors on the skin or a body suit to help game makers create characters’ movements.
