The games do loosely follow a series of Russian novels, so that explains why Exodus is mostly not taking part in the Moscow metro network (the original story progresses that way afaik, although I haven't read the books).

De inhoud deed me denken aan de situatie in ons eigen kikkerland.

Ook in dit land is er onrecht met hoe onze kameraden, de vredesactivisten, Palestijnse betogers en klimaathelpers worden gearresteerd.
Dat is geen Nederland: het arresteren en monddood maken van deze kameraden is onrecht, ontucht en onvrede jegens de Nederlandse samenleving

Ik denk toch dat de situatie in NL lang niet zo heftig is als "daar".

I would rather say it looks like a Stiletto (the shoe type, not the weapon).

Hm. I found the first game (original release+ Rangermode DLC, not the "redux" (?) version) the best, Exodus (third game) pretty good (esp. if you wait for a discount), and the middle game (Last Light) somewhat mediocre. So I would be more inclined to apply the skipping to the second game instead of the last one (if skipping exactly one of three; the original first in Rangermode still remains the very best of the franchise).

What a fuss (made by the client) about a nothing-burger.

Kind of makes me think of the game Pacific Drive.

According to Distrowatch and Wikipedia it is based on Alpine Linux.

The Steam Deck does run Linux right? Generally that means the used drivers are not written by AMD and also do not have an auto-updater from AMD. The deck is supposed to update through it's OS'es package manager and supposedly has the Mesa and Linux Foundation drivers in use.
