League of Legends Faces SAG-AFTRA Strike: What This Means for the MOBA Community
League of Legends Under SAG-AFTRA Strike
SAG-AFTRA, the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, has announced that it is striking League of Legends, which means all union members will be unable to promote or work on Riot Games' flagship MOBA. Following a press release detailing the strike, the union has also filed an unfair labor charge with the National Labor Relations Board.
Riot Games' Response
In response, Riot Games has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to refute SAG-AFTRA's claims. The press release from SAG-AFTRA details allegations that Formosa Interactive, a creative services and voiceover company working with Riot Games on League of Legends, attempted to subvert the videogame strike. This strike began earlier this year in July, with one of its goals being to provide protection for its members against the unethical use of AI.
