Seems easy to see why it sold well - The Witcher 3 was very successful and then they attached Keanu Reeves to it.

As for the game itself, it told some petty good stories, had some excellent characters, and managed to do this while still feeling like a game, not an interactive movie. It delivered well enough on the setting as well.

    I think the issue here is that the game developers may not have any contract with PRS. Historically they wouldn't have had to - they'd license the music from the big music labels, stamp their game onto a CD and sell a product. Now they're not just selling a product - they're licensing access to a "performance" of it. Valve is the playing an active part in this by "performing" the works on demand. It seems stupid to me, but that's the world of content licensing.

    Most travel insurance policies exclude cover once you're in your third trimester. The article mentioned that they'd be clarifying this in their policy as well.

    Insurance policy limits are dictated by profits, not doctors' recommendations.

    I'm not sure I follow the all-in-one schema issue? Won't each endpoint have its own schema for its response? And if you're updating things asynchronously then doesn't versioning each endpoint effectively solve all the problems? That way you have all the resilience of the xml validation along with the flexibility of supplying older objects until each participant is updated.

    Looks matter because it's a place to live. Many commieblocks deal with that just fine by having the green space around them though. I kind of like the look of some of them though - solid, practical, maintainable. Some of the modern builds in my local city look more like temporary emergency shelters - like the people staying there don't belong.

    Merge what though? A question that's already been asked and what are likely low-quality answers already present on the existing question?

    It's supposed to act as a gentle reprimand and point them to the correct behaviour. Pretty much the same way it works anywhere else if you walk in and disrespect a space.
