Take-Two Boss "Pretty Confident" Video Game Strike Will End, Expects No Short-Term Impact

Video game actors in the SAG-AFTRA union are currently on strike over concerns about, among other things, artificial intelligence. Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of one of the game companies in the middle of the strike, Take-Two, said recently that he's "pretty confident" the two sides can make a deal.

"We deeply value our talent relationships, and historically we worked very successfully with all of the unions, including SAG-AFTRA," Zelnick said during Take-Two's latest earnings briefing. "We continue to work hard to come to a resolution on this current situation. In fact, we have common ground on 24 out of 25 proposals. So, I'm pretty confident that we can get to a deal that will be mutually beneficial."

Zelnick went on to say that Take-Two does not expect any impact "whatsoever" for Take-Two's games that are currently in development. If the strike goes on for a long time, though, this would affect Take-Two and other companies, he said.
