Two days ago SAG-AFTRA ordered its voice actors not to work on Mega Man: Dual Override, a new game slated for release in 2027, because Capcom had no contract signed with them. Shortly after, the VA for Mega Man in Mega Man 11 said that he was offered to reprise the role but only under a non-union contract, so he turned it down.

From what I've heard Capcom goes back and forth on hiring union actors for its games, and classic Mega Man has never had English VAs last more than one game, so it's possible Capcom will look to Vancouver, where historically most Mega Man dubbings were done. The main exception is the Star Force anime, yet their voices return in the upcoming Legacy Collection that releases in two weeks.

The subreddit-logo started alright but now you have users spamming the same anti-union, "right to work" propaganda about SAG-AFTRA being corrupt or scummy or mean to non-union actors or whatever, seems like whinging that they don't act on unanimity and have a spine to me. The sudden rush feels very astroturfed. Both sides also made comparisons to a clash between the union and MiHoYo, don't know what that's about.

There was also an anti-union Argentinian who talked in the cadence of "I lived under communism, fuck tankies" lol ancaptain

Thank goodness I pirate all my games.

The reddit thread was surprisingly somewhat good on the matter initially, until the anti-union chuds came in and that was when I realized I really should stop bothering with using reddit for hobby stuff.
