What Happened To… Gamestation

Gary Green said: Gamestation was a chain of retail shops in the United Kingdom selling new and used games. Gamestation was founded in 1993 in York, UK, and by 2002, it had 64 stores across the United Kingdom. Gamestation’s primary competitor was GAME, who were generally considered one of the most expensive retailers for games.

Gamestation’s main method of attracting customers was to put on more special offers than its competitor as well as focusing on pre-owned games and larger discounts on older titles. Gamestation would also usually beat GAME’s prices by at least 5%, with new releases at GAME typically charged at £39.99, while Gamestation would set their prices at £37.99 for the same titles.

SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader In Fortnite

SAG-AFTRA Files Over A.I. Darth Vader in Fortnite claiming this was done without notification and has filed accordingly.

spoonard20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

It's just a complaint, not a lawsuit, and it's completely unwarranted.

Garethvk20h ago

I said filed which they did. Filed a complaint.

James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it.

So i don't know why SAG is getting involved as it makes it seem like they are going against james earl jones wishes or just wanted a cut...

Garethvk17h ago

They are concerned about A.I. replacing live talent. It's an unusual stance as you are correct; he left his voice and his family approved. The union is saying doing this versus using a live actor sets a bad precedent going forward. The use of A.I. has been a huge issue in the recent labor deals.

Well this is also an interactive AI Darth Vader that would have made live talent impossible unless they think a actor being in Fortnight 24/7 is an acceptable solution.

They should concentrate on cases that are possible to be done with live talent and that haven't been given blessing or sold by the original actor(for which they should have the right to sell)

"James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it."

I have to say if James approved this after his death... that would be... um...

Do you mean he approved it while he was alive for when he passed?

VersusDMC9h ago

It's reported that he gave permission before his death and his estate(which i asume is his family) says so as well.

spoonard3h ago

Because SAG-AFTRA are trade unions. They are the Hollywood mafia protecting their profits from anything they feel could undermine them. It's all about the almighty dollar, not artists.
