Supergiant Games battles back accusations it is working around SAG-AFTRA strike

Summary
Voice actor Marin M Miller, who works for Supergiant Games, has alleged that the gaming developer has opted to recast roles instead of signing an interim contract with SAG-AFTRA that would allow it to work with union talent during the ongoing strike.
Union members have been on strike since August, seeking greater protections against the use of AI in voice acting and training, and Miller claims that their current lack of engagement is why they have not been contacted to reprise their role.
Supergiant Games has denied the claims, stating that it is not recasting any roles and is also against the use of AI to replace voice actors.
The dispute highlights the ongoing tension between SAG-AFTRA members and gaming companies over the increasing role of AI and the lack of permanent protections being implemented.
