Gaming the System – June Gaming News (Part 2)
This week, we dive into two simmering stories that might not make headlines, but could have lasting impacts on the gaming industry. From the tentative end to the year-long voice actor strike, to the steady erosion of corporate commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we’re asking: where do we go from here?
Jem hosts alongside Alex and Matt, tackling topics ranging from AI exploitation to the erosion of progressive values in major studios like Rockstar and EA. As always, we’re pulling no punches and holding the industry to account.
In this episode:
- The SAG-AFTRA strike might be ending, but is the fight really over?
- “Diversity of thought” is being used to quietly erase DEI in gaming.
- Grand Theft Auto, executive orders, and the rising authoritarian creep.
“Even with the best of intentions, the potential for the wording change to be used by bad actors is significant.”
If you care about representation, workers’ rights, and the politics seeping into every corner of our media, you won’t want to miss this one.
