Félix Habert is a game designer and staff representative at Eugen Systems, a small French studio behind several well-received strategy games, including the recent Steel Division: Normandy 44. He joined the company as an intern five years ago, but walked out last month alongside 20 other employees because of unpaid wages and breached contracts. Today is his 30th day on strike.
Last week, members of the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists went on strike against key game companies. Per Motherboard, we're getting a closer look at one of the guild's complaints.
The ongoing strike between the voice actors guild, SAG-AFTRA, and the 11 companies that they failed to reach agreement with -- which includes Activision, Disney, Take Two and Insomniac Games -- is set to ramp up a notch this week, with members of the union set to picket outside EA's Los Angeles studio tomorrow morning.
