The quality of the game isn't why The Crew makes a good target. It's because it's made by Ubisoft, which is based in France. And France has some pretty strict consumer protection laws. Were this, say, EA, which is based in the US, the lawsuit would be a non-starter. In adddition to that, France is a part of EU, which means Ubisoft has to comply with EU law in addition to the aforementioned French laws. So if this goes through, they will have to fight this on at least two fronts. The Crew is also a singleplayer game with an online component, which shouldn't be necessary for the game to function, but here we are.

So to sum up: the lawsuit is not because people are super passionate for The Crew (though some probably are), but because if you're going to make an example of a game, your best shot is suing a company which is located in a country with good customer protection laws. The Crew just happened to fit that bill.

I would say it depends on the user. Some might feel more at home with KDE, because the layout is similar to Windows. Some might be coming from macOS, so they would be more at home with Pantheon. Some might choose GNOME, because...

Anyway, the answer is none of the above, it's terminal only. Get good or get out. Using graphics is for quitters.

Landlords contribute nothing to society.

I don't know, we'll just have to see. But personally, I am not a fan of tying so many functionalities to systemd.

Are people asking for a Bloodborne remake? I always thought they just wanted a port to systems other than PS4. Which I still think Sony should do.

And it couldn't have happened to a nicer website.

It feels like everybody, here are just a few examples. And if that doesn't cut it for you, Steam has a whole-ass tag for boomer shooters.

To answer your second question: they advertise Signal as a secure and private messenger, so heavily using Google services would be kind of counter-productive. To answer your first question: here.

Does Terraria count? If so, Terraria.

This is it. This is my "old man moment", because I have no idea how this relates to mayonnaise.
