[1/2] SAG-AFTRA actors and Writers Guild of America (WGA) writers walk the picket line during their ongoing strike outside Warner Bros. The SAG-AFTRA agreement covering video game performers expired last November and has been extended on a monthly basis as the union negotiated with major video game companies. As earnings climbed, video game company staff beyond the performers covered by SAG-AFTRA have been unionizing for the first time this year. 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 U.S. 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.
