As a European, all I can say is good riddance, you greasy fuckers.

They are referring to the standalone expansion set in London in the 1960s for GTA 1 (the top down one), if I'm not mistaken

Personal story time. A few years back, I texted (through Whatsapp) a colleague for a few minutes about a friend taking up welding as a supplementary source of income, and immediately (within the day) received a targeted ad in the Duolingo app for... welding torches. Important facts, I don't weld, I've never done any welding and I don't know anything about welding. How this bit of info got from whatsapp to whomever was providing interstitial ads in the duolingo app, I have no idea. My best guess is still that google's keyboard app is logging every single keystroke I type and aggregating it in a database somewhere. I can't fathom how that shit isn't extremely illegal.

It doesn't include the game assets, you can't just compile it and start playing.

The Dutch speak better English than some parts of England.

At the risk of sounding like a door-to-door fediverse evangelist: the good thing about mastodon is you can always move to a small and quirky instance, or even start your own small and quirky instance and defederate from any parts that you don't like.
