This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

As a voice actor and audio engineer, my studio has been host to so many cool things. I’ve worked to make sure it wasn’t only a professional space to work but also a place where clients can feel at home. One of the coolest things is getting to record all of Scott’s audio for the game Battle Suit Aces

This morning we had to say goodbye to our sweet boy Raul. One of the hardest decisions ever. Always a good boy. Always loving. RIP Raul, you will be missed. Love you buddy. Today is a hard day 😞

No. The last contract is worse in measurable ways, including the replacing of one clause with a different one that is WORSE for actors in regards to Digital Replications.
We’ve been thrown “absolute deadlines” HALF A DOZEN times over the last year…but mysteriously, they’ve never been that absolute!

It’s been incredibly challenging—not just financially but emotionally.
Recently, a few people thanked me for being so active on the front line as a captain and with @gpm-official.bsky.social and I realized in the moment how much of a toll on the heart it’s been.
I believe in this fully.

Worth perusing if you think what employers are offering for videogames is “good”🙃
The 2025 Commercials Contracts have the strongest A.I. protections of any SAG-AFTRA contract yet. Just sayin'. 💪

I should be clear. If we cave. If we don’t stick this out until we get a fair deal. It won’t be long until performers have no say. If there’s no performers, then scheduling sessions isn’t needed.
Which means staff at studios is barely needed. Which means no budget for hours. Which means layoffs etc

Remember my comment about A Bug’s Life earlier? This is it.
I’m a SAG actor but I’ve also worked as an engineer on several games.
This strike affects SO MANY people that aren’t just performers. The whole production infrastructure will change and a lot of people’s livelihood will disappear. Poof

I'm not an actor but the strike has still directly fucked up my year financially. If y'all bitch out now before you get proper protections set, then what was the fucking point? There's an obligation to see this shit through. At Minimum for the little guys who held the line with the most to lose.

Hey. I'm gonna be real. To all the rich VAs saying "this strike needs to end" because your bottom line is starting to hurt:
Suck it up. Those of us at the bottom who have a hell of a lot more to lose are running Uber Eats etc to make it through this.
The strike will end when we get our deal.

Won’t stop referring to A Bug’s Life as the perfect metaphor 😂
“…let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life! It's not about food, it's about keeping those ants in line”

There are members of the VA community that are so “above” most of us that they should be seen as management. They report to the employers and the employers are going to use that to their advantage in order cause in fighting to tear us apart from the inside.

It was an honor, a pleasure and a general kick ass time to get to work with Scott on this project. Thank you for advocating for my studio as hard as you did.
Thanks to @joshsterling.bsky.social for letting me record in his studio, and for engineering the session. Having you handle the audio, and having a studio that felt like a home made for some of my favorite sessions of my career. I'm lucky to have a friend and colleague as caring as you!

I was the recording engineer for Scott’s work on this. So cool to get to record an interim game from my studio.
Battle Suit Aces just dropped a fully voiced demo on Steam yesterday for LudoNarraCon, and gave me the all clear to announce something amazing. I'm honored to be the voice of Felix in Battle Suit Aces! This is my first lead in a video game and the story is incredible. Check out the demo now!

Hello, #voiceover friends.
Be prudent on whom you trust for getting info about the strike.
Do the people asking for it to end have a vested interest or would make money if it ended early?
Are you getting transparent information from all sides?
Time to use your brains and journalism skills, folks

I’ve said this too many time in my life. Usually I’m a little more spicy than this but you can’t control anything that other people do but you can control your own actions. If want to see change, then you have take action. When a VA runs for leadership, show up and vote!
SAG-AFTRA struggles to meet the needs of voice actors--I will be the first to admit that. This is because no VAs sit in higher leadership positions--because our own don't tend to be active in the union or vote. As I gear up to run, I am begging anyone with voting power to empower voice actors!!
