Generic character in a robe, possibly Ghandalf: "Use the Force, Harry!".

Does it count also the Publisher budget (which usually goes to marketing, advertisement, etc.)?

I can name 2 o 3 corpos (big ones) who regularly renew their WinRAR license. And that repays it abundantly.

WinRAR sells a successful and effective product to companies. AFAIK, their main business is B2B.

I've passed the test in 2021. To be fair, there are some interesting and relevant topics, such as anything concerning the government structure: elections, judiciary system, Parliament, ... Other questions such as the number of volunteers in the National Trust or the London Eye height are completely pointless.

Hype is fundamental in their marketing strategy. When they release a game port on PC after 1.5 years, all the hype has already died out.

Their loss. I won't buy a PS5 or later anyway.

Watched a demo at the Milan Games Week in last November. The game is polished and has lots of curated environments. The cities design looks amazing.

You cannot compare with someone in their 15 today: average time spent with families is decreasing, and the average time that teenagers spend in touch with their peers (not necessarily in person, but also via IM) is increasing, and therefore also the peer pressure. Also, what about those kids with absent parents? What about those kids with toxic or incompetent parents?

Sure, I agree with anyone who says that kids should be guided and assisted on social media in the right environments, or in a way to find the right spaces to express themselves (with hobbies, sports, group activities, whatever), and I'll vote for anyone who could do anything on that purpose. But we can also imagine flying cars at this point.

Stopped watching any live television, and cancelled my TV License. They can ask a certain country from the MiddleEast for the missing subscription, for what I care.

You cannot ask a 15 year old for that. They are subject to peer pressure. The only way is to forbid or restrict the access to Social Media to minors. The real question is: who must do it?
