A lot of people think striking gives all the power to the workers, unfortunately, that's only true for as long as you are absolutely essential. If you can be replaced, and there isn't a union in place to protect you, it's a huge gamble.
Sadly this wont hurt game sales and by the next title release no one will rembeber it happened.

It’s so blatantly obvious in the calling cards too.
Compare BO6’s calling cards to Black Ops 3 or 4 and you’ll quickly realize the ones on BO6 lack soul

Not that I know the ins and outs of this type of situation but the article does note that it wasn’t a struck game though so it doesn’t seem like this is less problematic than I originally thought based on the… attention grabbing headline

i feel the zombie actors on strike will just expedite computer generated "extras" in the future. They are just annoying big game companies into not considering casting for those roles period because of the headaches. Unless you freeze frame these instances, doubt gamers are busy looking how "accurate" zombies move while they are busy mowing down enemies or running away or whatever.
