Didn‘t Denmark get criticized for doing exactly that, though?

Some parts of Germany are even colder, believe it or not. Top temperatures dropped by over 15°C since Wednesday here (From 35°C to 18°C tomorrow) just to climb to 30°C by Sunday next week. I‘d rather have a warm or cold summer than this bouncing around.
The game had a huge cast with many memorable characters and moments. Not everyone was going to shine through especially with some fantastic performances like you mentioned.
I think the title of the post is just deceiving and should be changed to the title of the actual article. And perhaps the article title was changed too but it is a more accurate title of the situation.
She probably did more work on BG3 alone than all previous works combined though. The experience alone boosted their performance immensely. Neil Newbon compared his 4 years at the studio with 4 seasons of shooting a TV show and his role was about the same size as Jennifer‘s. BG3 wasn‘t just any job. Especially not for her. Anyone who actually follows her can attest to that. To say it didn‘t change the trajectory of her life and career takes some serious ignorance.
Historically that doesn’t make sense for how well isolated our homes are and how rarely extreme heat still is in many parts of Europe. ACs and electricity aren’t exactly cheap either. However it’s getting more accessible. Slapping some solar panels on your roof or balcony and installing an AC to cool at least one room will become the norm quickly I think.
She just has become pickier with what she auditions for.
Most actors in gaming are certainly not becoming pickier with AI looming at the horizon so this is a strong sign that she is in fact doing very good. Certainly better than voicing Child #5 in Original Sin 2. And that's literally the entire point I'm trying to get across here.
Those roles are tiny. Like I don‘t even know why you‘re so strongly against the idea that she wasn‘t that big before. You literally just have to look up her actual roles.
And yes she was a major factor of the marketing campaign. Again, you just have to look up the trailers.
This isn’t about me or my perception. I am saying this because she said so herself and the Imdb Page you linked tells the same story. She broke her mold with Shadowheart and now she is getting much bigger and more diverse roles. But feel free to tell me about a game prior to BG3 where she took center stage for marketing like she did for Expedition 33.
Likely a case of what lobby has him deeper inside their pockets. Such a bill would threaten the entire entertainment industry and more.
You can‘t deny it did boost Jennifer English‘s career to a high degree. You could say it‘s not all about her role as Shadowheart alone but it definitely helped kickstart her online presence. She went from voicing children side characters to being one of the most prolific and recognizable voices in gaming within two years and I doubt her role in Expedition 33 where she was heavily featured in promotional material was the last we‘ve heard of her.
It „makes sense“ in that US troops are still stationed in Europe to (hopefully) help defend western Democracy. Meanwhile China is actively helping Russia attacking it. But judging by where things are headed with Trump, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. could be next on the ban list.
How would it be? Unfortunately there are still a lot of consumer hostile practices going on that are completely legal in the EU. I‘m no expert of course so I‘m curious what EU law would regulate this exact practice.
