Although I agree with the sentiment that US has a lot of soft power influence, I would argue that most of it is just US capitalism shining at its best. I think the best example of this is WW2 related content like movies. In France public pe

Epic is partly owned by Tencent but yeah, they are a very big fish, specially with their interests in mobile gaming.

If I am not mistaken they have some few PS5 exclusives under development. Is there any new IP that Bethesda is working on, which can be potentially a Xbox/PC exclusive?

They should be definitely allowed as this looks like a good business deal, the dangers of monopolizing on competitive advantages nonetheless. My statement was just about the power they have.

Interestingly in most parts of Asia(East, SE, South), living with your parents is the norm, so parents usually prefer if their kids stay with them but it does mean way less personal space and freedom.

If I understood it correctly, they are adding it in the main app itself. Would a separate app make more sense, as YT is where I mostly go for watching mid/long length videos usually and their consumption pattern would be way different.
