Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Last week, video game voice actors voted to go on strike after a year and a half of back-and-forth negotiation with major gaming entities. The CEO of one of the companies at the bargaining table, EA, has said he’s not concerned about the strike having a short-term impact on business.
As part of EA’s most recent earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson was asked about any potential impact from the strike, IGN reports. Due to the specifics of how the strike will operate, and how EA’s business runs, he’s not concerned that the strike will cause any disruption in the near future.
“We’re working very closely; this is not an EA-specific situation, this is an industry-specific situation, and we’re working diligently to negotiate at the table,” Wilson said, noting that voice actors are an important and valued part of EA’s business.
