- A new contract was recently ratified by members of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) that will provide performers who work on video games a onetime payment when games are streamed over the Internet.
- The so-called “cloud gaming fee” is the first of its kind, and resolves a longstanding dispute over compensation for the remote delivery of video games.
- The union represents some 70,000 actors, recording artists and broadcasters.
- AFTRA’s sister union SAG has yet to negotiate a new video game contract.
