With the ongoing strike, SAG-AFTRA, that started on July 26th, 2024, Grand Theft Auto 6 won’t be affected, which is something that many were worried about once the strike was made public online. A union representative said that “performers working on the game are allowed to continue to work on the project.” Currently, there are no leads on who the voice actors are for the main characters or anyone who is voice acting within the game. This strike has been called by the union for American actors due to failed negotiations to protect the use of AI for the actors.

Major videogame publishers including Electronic Arts and Take-Two will likely stave off a big hit from the strike by voice actors and motion-capture artists due to their in-house studios and the lengthy development cycles for games, analysts said.

The strike, which began last week, marked the latest in Hollywood after unions representing writers and actors took to the picket lines last year seeking protections against the use of artificial intelligence.

It comes at a crucial time for the videogame industry as demand remains weak after a pandemic-driven boom, with people spending fewer hours on games and sticking to big titles.

The biggest news of the morning? Seeing the June CPI print with a negative sign. You can be pretty sure now that Fed rate cuts are coming. The overall June consumer price index dropped 0.1 points from May. Year-on-year, it almost printed with a 2-handle (it came in at a flat 3.0%). The core was only up one-tenth on the month, and 3.3% on the year. And yes, the yearly numbers are still high. But the recent trend has been incredibly soft. Core CPI for the past three months annualized is now running just 1.1%.
