Two Zenless Zone Zero voice actors claim they have been replaced for participating in the SAG-AFTRA strikes.

    My understanding was that this game was not covered by the strike, and so the voice actors decided to withhold their work for essentially no reason and with zero union protection. I saw on another article that the voice actors involved knew that the game was not covered by the strike and decided to strike anyways. I’m not entirely sure what they expected.

    I’m not saying that the union or Mihoyo are bad, but this issue seems to stem from something else entirely (individual voice actors going rogue and doing an unofficial strike)

    I mean, werent the SAG terms putting Hoyo in a lose-lose situation if they sign it since they have some non-SAG actors which do not want to join SAG? If Hoyo signed the SAG agreement then they would have to either force the non-SAG actors to join SAG against their will or replace the non-SAG actors with a SAG actor if they intend to hire them more than 3 times.

    Sounds like SAG just wants total monopolistic control of the entire Voice Acting industry to me.

      Fuck off. Its been a long time coming for voice actors to unionize. Especially in the advent of AI “performance.”

      That’s not how unions work.
