Assuming the bottle has been kept closed and in a cupboard, it’s avoided the two main things that make pigments change over time - air and sunlight. It’s not possible to say that it hasn’t degraded at all, but it’s fair to say that it’ll be

I think that's a trend that's reversed. From what I've seen of it so far, Crusader Kings 3 has the same depth and complexity as its predecessor.

Remember that having that rule doesn't stop people from asking for advice. If someone wants to say, "this sucks! What's a better way of doing it?" they still can. The rule-as-written doesn't even preclude a replie

I'm willing to give it a pass because it's in good faith and he gives praise as well; it's not like an Angry Video Game Nerd-style rant. Also, this is a review for his YouTube audience more than it is criticism aimed at MuseS

They're not refuting that. They agreed that it's "95% of the market." Their point is that the overall desktop has shrunk, regardless of Windows's share of that.
