Besides the already sketchy AI thing, I wonder why they need to know gender & ethnicity.

Decentralization will help a lot, though.
The decentralisation of Bluesky is a joke.
They surely learnt from that. Now there won't be an auction house and mail so close together, so players have at least one reason to be in the city. Oh wait, nevermind, they are already selling that for the price of 1,5x AAA game.
Every mod id ever played has been free.
If you've actively played Gmod in a multiplayer setting and you weren't the server admin: i doubt that. Gmod has a still thriving paid modding community, mostly for extensions for Pointshops, TTT content or other game modifiers. It maybe was free to you though ;)
Ugh, Denuvo.
But Syncthing Fork is not shut down and is still maintained (never used the main version tbh).

I've used Joplin before which was okay-ish (but borked the e2e encryption during an update).
Now I would recommend Silverbullet if you are really keen on self hosting a notes app.
But the notes that work best for me is simply Obsidian + Syncthing-Fork (you could self host a syncthing server), thanks to its sheer ability to adapt to nearly any use case thanks to its plugin.
For farmers this effectively eliminates the need for an auctioneer alt. Now instead of sending mail to your auctioneer, you can now farm and when your bags are full instantly list it on the auction house. This is especially important on early markets (lets say new patch or expansion) as the prices go down quickly. This feels very much P2W for a full price game with a subscription.
Lol, that is not realistic for most players. The original 5 million gold was not realistic back then either.
Yeah, i built a tiny proof of concept Metroidvania for my studies... 150 hours. At least 70 were used to build, improve and then fix the animation tree which handled all states. Really cool that I could do that with Godot. The metroidvania was 2d single player and presumably 3d multiplayer is not easier. I hope the devs are more experienced than I was, though.
Time for the EU to rip him a new one :)
Bluesky is not part of the fediverse and threads is mostly technically capable to be part of it - it is however blocked from the most other instances.
