I understand and almost completely agree with what you're saying, but there are plenty of developers out there that provide meaningful improvements to their games even after they have your money. For some, it's a labour of love and also a matter of reputation.

This is EA, however, so your point completely stands.

As much as I enjoy the series, they need to move away from UE or put a lot more work into optimising their games.

Fallen Order still suffers from traversal stutter and they've somehow made it worse in Survivor. They need to fix their current games before expressing interest in making new ones.

NOWTV is pretty awful for this. You're stuck with SD content and adverts unless you pay £7 a month extra for HD and no ads.

That's right. HD, not 4K. They're stuck in 2009.

If we're going to be holding grudges for historical misgivings, is there anything you think Germany would like to talk about?

Except that time where legitmate customers were unable to play their games because of server issues with DRM.

Or the fact that it hampers official ports of games to Linux. But aside from that, there's no impact /s

The Deck uses PWM. I'm one of those unfortunate few that ends up feeling nauseous when using 40Hz. I don't notice the flickering directly, but 10 minutes of gaming or so and my head is spinning. I don't get the same issue at 45Hz or higher.

Been thinking about picking this up. How are you finding it?

Okay, so now a data scraping organisation can pay $8 a month and get access to 10x the content of a free user.

This is 100% a money thing and nothing to do with protecting the user experience.
