They probably shouldn’t have named it London in hindsight. But back then of course they probably didn’t know they were going to revisit Liberty City/Vice City/San Andreas a couple of times.

There are plenty of over-the-top British stereotypes they could do that the rest of the world would also appreciate. Royalty, Jacob Rees-Mogg/Boris Johnson style politicians, Brexit craziness, chavs, Geordie Shore, empire nostalgia.
GTA is satire about American society. Because of Hollywood, TV, and English being the lingua franca of the world, this way they can reach a far bigger audience. You couldn’t do exactly the same game set in Helsinki because the world knows far less about Finnish stereotypes. Ninja Edit: Random thought about satirical games set in Finland: My Summer Car is kind of that game.
But they have explored London before. I think the UK would probably the best setting if you would.
In Dutch, the only (one) is “de enige”. People often use “de enigste”, which actually means the cutest. Enig -> enigste.
“Ik ben als enigste over” “Ja, schattig ben je zeker”
"“Ich bin der Einzigste, der noch übrig ist” “Ja, du bist wirklich süß”
“I’m the only one left.” “Yeah, cute you sure are”
My school taught this whole convoluted system that was meant to help students with multiple tenses, but I just learned to apply the “ik loop” mnemonic which is so effortless (to native speakers at least.)
Sometimes I have to think once or twice about soft ketchup/'t Kofschip for the past participle, but that’s about it.

I’ve have and have had multiple mechanical keyboards, with both blues and browns. I also have the Logi MX Keys S.
I think I prefer my cheap ass Dell keyboard at the office though.
Because robots are better than humans.
This is the tech bro answer, but at some point there is no point to enjoy humans to do tasks anymore.
Until then automation will just increase profits roughly within legal limits.
I own two shoe factories and a cotton farm, you?
The reason is the network effect. I want to use signal or rather even an EU based messaging service, but everybody, including businesses, are on WhatsApp in my country.
When the day comes that Brein starts sending notices to pirates, these pirates will just move to Newsgroups and VPNs.
I just have a d
I’m not arguing what the market ought to be like. I just don’t agree with your definitions.
No, it’s not. A monopoly is a market situation in which a single entity controls the supply of a product or service. A government can be a monopolist. For instance in many countries the government owns the railway company.
You’re describing regulation. That’s a whole different topic.
A monopoly is not when a technology is more popular than another technology.
So apparently my girlfriend thinks it’s weird my family keeps a knife in the toilet. You know, just in case it doesn’t flush down. I thought everybody did this.

What else can the EU do? They can’t force an American company to follow EU regulation outside of the EU.
Edit: oh damn I read your comment wrong. I read it as “It’s pretty sad that the EU seems to only care about the privacy of its own citizens.” To that I’d say get your own regulation, but that’s exactly what you called for. Nvm then.
Penny wise pound foolish. The only way not to go through the paper is to go through the rolls.
