Or they'll contract out since this is just a US union. It's kind of hilarious that they don't realize how easily replaceable they are, and once they find out how cheaply their jobs can be done they'll be out of work for good.
The other issue is that unlike Hollywood, there is a vast and extensive network of Indie and AA studios that are not beholden to the overall Games industry and would continue to exist if this strike happened. In fact, such a strike would probably allow them to cut into the market share of AAA devs even more than they already are, which is a market where a $15 voxel based game is putting up player numbers on par with Call of Duty and its $70 price tag.
They are relying heavily on the public pressure to prevent companies from doing so. They think if they can get enough bad press it'll scare them off making such a choice.
How is the request reasonable? If you can't distinguish between the things they produce and the things an AI produces there's no reason to pay them.
Also: Looking at what western media shat out in the last few years, you actually can distinguish between AI and actual "human" beings. Sadly, AI seems to produce better things.
