In a report on Aftermath, SAG-AFTRA chief contracts officer Ray Rodriguez said that the union is "obviously not happy about" the GTA 6 exemption, but affirmed that the rule about already in-development games exists, saying it was "bargained into" a legacy agreement created before the SAG and AFTRA unions merged.

"It's language that the merged union basically inherited, that I think is insane," said Rodriguez. "But it's there."

I really hate the internet sometimes. This isn't about special treatment or anything; the strike explicitly stated that any project that started before the strike wouldn't be affected.
 
I am a little confused here. They included the clause to exempt games before Sept 2023 from strike but are now unhappy about this. Did they not knew GTA 6 has been in development for like a decade now??
 
It's incredible how many issues could be resolved if consumers simply avoided buying products made through immoral practices.
