The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has added League of Legends to its list of struck video games following an unfair labor complaint filed against Formosa Interactive, a support studio that worked on the game.
As the video game voice actor strike continues, SAG-AFTRA has added League of Legends to its list of struck video games . The union organization, consisting of over 160,000 members, also filed an unfair labor complaint against Formosa Interactive , one of the support studios that worked on the game. Riot Games has issued a statement on social media saying, “League of Legends has nothing to do with the complaint mentioned in SAG-AFTRA ’s press release.
When that was unsuccessful, SAG-AFTRA claims that Formosa then secretly transferred the game to what the union described as a shell company and subsequently put out casting calls exclusively for non-union talent. In response, SAG-AFTRA has filed an unfair labor complaint with the National Labor Relations Board against Formosa Interactive and added the studio’s highest profile game — League of Legends — to the union’s struck games list.
