Harvey's history with games started when he first begged his parents for a World of Warcraft subscription aged 12, though he's since been cursed with Final Fantasy 14-brain and a huge crush on G'raha Tia.

It's been around three months since SAG-AFTRA, a union representing over 160,000 actors across the industry ,, stating that"employers refuse to plainly affirm, in clear and enforceable language, that they will protect all performers covered by this contract in their AI language."

"Significantly, these contracts contain the same common-sense, foundational A.I. protections that SAG-AFTRA members are asking for in the Interactive Media Agreement—demonstrating that the provisions are fair and achievable, and providing employment opportunities to members during the work stoppage."

As for the present day, some participating actors took to Twitter to celebrate the news of a slow-and-steady win. Kit Harrison, who's worked in games like Genshin Impact, SMITE, and Baldur's Gate 3,:"Turning down game opportunities during the strike has stung a lot. But as re-enters negotiations with this many projects already signed to the new agreement, hopefully my voice is enough among the many to strike a fair deal.
