I'm all for "we don't want people talking about the plot in games not in development".

But people need to fucking know and consent to being hired for sexual content before accepting jobs, whether you're pointing a camera at their exposed butthole or "just" making them voice out a consensual sex scene.

The level of explicit is perfectly fine. But you can't just drop it on someone. It's inherently coercive.

Do actors in the gaming industry really sign on to a project without a contract stipulating what they will and won’t do, and how much it will cost?

This is already a solved issue in the movie and TV industries.

More evidence of a poorly regulated industry being detrimental to the people that work in it

Also NDAs seem more and more harmful the more I hear about them. It should be fine to forbid them from revealing the story but the general type of content should be something they can freely talk about, especially to agents, lawyers, actor's guilds, trade unions,... and other people involved in the contract negotiations and general industry improvement.

Kudos for forcing the industry to implement the most basic level of respect and awareness.

the title said "actors" but it seemed to just be one woman's experience. I do think its completely inappropriate, but i don't know if that means the whole industry does it like that.

also it's nice to see BG3 did it right. And I'm surprised there was no mention of it anywhere in a contract. Just seems odd that they'd leave that out for the sake of "spoilers". You can say what happens without giving specific details.

Ok, but how do you convince the actors to make sex noises without them suspecting they're acting out a sex scene?

Have you heard the sounds they make for taking damage?

“Actors demand action” 😉
