Earlier this week, the video game actors union SAG-AFTRA made a bombshell announcement, declaring that all actors part of the organization are going on strike starting on July 26 in order to improve working conditions and secure more protection from AI practices. A big list of publishers and developers that will be impacted by the strike was published, which included the likes of Activision, Electronic Arts, Insomniac Games, WB Games, and Take-Two Interactive.
The inclusion of Take-Two appeared to ring more alarm bells among gamers than others, seeing as it's the publisher of Grand Theft Auto 6, a game that is poised to be 2025's biggest launch by a landslide. Concerns over the title possibly being impacted or delayed were then made even more real after it was reported that SAG-AFTRA specifically called out the title as one that will be affected by the strike.
Watch Dogs might not be the best GTA-like, but it's the most inventive.
Thankfully, for those looking forward to GTA 6, it appears that these reports were either inaccurate or were given a false statement, as it's now been clarified that the game is actually exempt from the strike....
