I would leave those in, those have my full support as well. There are plenty of ways to approach this and a million ways it could work. I think what we're seeing play out is pretty much the worst case scenario bar one or two outcomes

Would you be able to link me that rider?

The problem is that hyv isnt a struck company officially, so they have no reason to sign the interim when they could just negotiate for a final contract
That is what I would be doing, and I would offer the ai protections they claim is all they want and refuse the rest.

There's a number of things. The language around first preference for union members is vague and feels predatory with the fines involved.
The automatic binding to the general agreement for signing the interim (based on the available information), which feels predatory.

Agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with this point! HYV has put themselves in a spot where they are both too big to fail and precariously perched on the edge of a cliff with no rope at the same time.

In my experience, they likely wouldn't have cared about HYV switching studios, but the fighting between EN VA's and Global/Western fans when picked up by CN gacha news and spread around has definitely sparked them (See: Nikke stream chat about Kayli Mills)

And I wholeheartedly agree with AI protections.
I just cant in good faith support SAG, not after reading the agreements and especially not with how much is behind closed doors.

Appreciate you answering! Wanted to see your viewpoint better.

As a hypothetical, if hoyo did so now that all this has happened, and the CN/EN community rioted over it (they've done more for less) and as a result hoyo lost millions. If Hoyo then recast the VA's anyway to bring back good faith from their CN players, would you be okay with it then?

Depends on what you consider to be the entry point of hyper consumerism vs regular consumerism but it's a mix of that and hyper parasociality to the characters and companies themselves

Just woke up, would have to go do some digging to find as it's been a significant amount of time since then.
Same rhetoric bled into other cn games like nikke, BA, etc, as well as other boycott over things like an event they didn't like.
If small issues like that are enough, it's possible in GI

Sure, that's a great way of putting it, but that is also a much different way of framing it, don't you think?
One says "we dont care about you."
The other says, "Your support moves the needle even just a little."
They are interpreted very differently.

Girls Frontline community over what they considered an NTR because the game introduced a male NPC for an event that one of the girls was friendly towards. It is still widely known today in the GFL community and CN players in some circles are still holding a grudge over it. GFL lost millions from it.

To address your first part, because SAG is an american union they are bound by TH no matter who they are dealing with, American or not.
Secondly, those VA's are incorrect legally. Because SAG work is by "project" and not by "location", non-american VA's would still be subject to SAG jurisdiction.

I have seen the Chinese gacha community entirely boycott a game to the point of failure for way less, it is entirely possible.
