VIDEO GAME ACTORS' UNION CALLS FOR STRIKE AGAINST 'LEAGUE OF LEGENDS'
AppleMagazine|September 27, 2024
Hollywood’s actors union called a strike against the popular multiplayer online game “League of Legends” on Tuesday, arguing the company that produces the game attempted to get around the ongoing video game strike by hiring nonunion actors to work on a union title.
VIDEO GAME ACTORS' UNION CALLS FOR STRIKE AGAINST 'LEAGUE OF LEGENDS'

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said the company, Formosa Interactive LLC, tried to “cancel” an unnamed video game affected by the strike shortly after the start of the work stoppage. The union said that when Formosa learned it could not cancel the game, the company “secretly transferred the game to a shell company and sent out casting notices for ‘non-union’ talent only.”

In response, the union’s interactive negotiating committee voted unanimously to file an unfair labor practice charge against the company with the National Labor Relations Board and to call a strike against “League of Legends” as part of that charge.

“League of Legends” is one of Formosa’s most well-known projects. The company provides voiceover services for the game, according to SAG-AFTRA.
