It depends.

If the game is already cast and VO/performance hasn't been entirely recorded yet, then yes, it will grind production to a halt.

If the game hasn't been cast yet, some studios might decide to go record VO in the UK instead. Typically that leads to lower quality unless the cast needs to be British. The American voice actor pool in the UK is much smaller than the U.S. for obvious reasons, and that leads to much lower quality of performance.

So basically, it will slow down productions if they don't have the option to go to the UK instead. For everything else, it depends how badly a studio wants to release within the given time frame, but there are options.

I was with you until the halfway point of season 3.

Edited to add: fuck Danny.

I get a kick out of every time a journalist feels they need to specify "formerly known as Twitter" because X is such a generic, indistinguishable brand.

Have you played with AI recently? This is very much where we're at still. AI is pretty good when you ask it straightforward questions (at which point it sounds like the most boring librarian in existence), but deviate from the norm a bit and it'll gaslight the shit out of you. AI is useful as long as your queries are as complicated as grandma's Google search prompt.

This article is specifically about Australia. Globally, Netflix added 5.9 million subscribers after their password-sharing crackdown.

I hate to say it, but the crackdown worked exactly as intended.
