It is often very difficult or even impossible to locate who currently owns the rights to some intellectual property in order to re-release it legally.[0]

Video games sign terrible licenses even for their most core parts. Many of the millions selling Forza games disappeared from the digital stores because they couldn't use the cars anymore.[0]
It's almost unbelievable since cars and their makers are actually getting a big marketing push from those games, but studios cannot get better conditions.

> Pixel Camera (which forces you to use Google Photos for basic functionality)
I disabled Google Photos but I didn't notice any issues with Camera except for not being able to open the photo just taken from the camera interface. Am I missing something else?

Yes, but I start with the browser.
What are the Notepad++ alternatives on Linux and MacOS, for those times when I have to use them?

Visual novels usually present an autoplay feature[1] which stops at choices, or just skips text you haven't met yet. The genre is famous for its multiple endings, even in the dozens, so a game can branch a lot and players re-play a game many times, so the autoplay feature is appreciated.
You can also set the text speed in many games, and there's a play log called history[2] if you missed something.

Isn't that the exact definition of "blasphemy"[1]?
