Can’t recommend any specifically, but OpenCamera works alright.

Generic character in a robe, possibly Ghandalf: “Use the Force, Harry!”.

Does it count also the Publisher budget (which usually goes to marketing, advertisement, etc.)?

I can name 2 o 3 corpos (big ones) who regularly renew their WinRAR license. And that repays it abundantly.

WinRAR sells a successful and effective product to companies. AFAIK, their main business is B2B.

Hype is fundamental in their marketing strategy. When they release a game port on PC after 1.5 years, all the hype has already died out.

Their loss. I won’t buy a PS5 or later anyway.

Watched a demo at the Milan Games Week in last November. The game is polished and has lots of curated environments. The cities design looks amazing.

To be fair, when I hear people screaming: “It’s too good to be true!”, or: “It has so much we have never seen in AAA!”, etc., on the contrary, we did. It’s taking features already defined in other games and assembled here all together.

I would also add HellDivers 2 , by Arrowhead Game Studios, although the Publisher is a Japanese corporation (Sony Interactive Entertainment) and it is not an indie game at all.
Remedy is a Finnish studio, but the Publisher for Alan Wake is Epic Games, one of the least consumer-friendly companies in the Industry.

Sure: Joplin can actually synchronize all the Notes content with any WebDAV destination. And kDrive (as my personal cloud storage) supports WebDAV. There is a help page where they explain all the steps: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/support/faq/1800/synchronize-joplin-notes-via-webdav-with-kdrive.

Several actually:

• Web Browser: Vivaldi
• Phone: FairPhone 6
• Storage: Infomaniak kDrive
• Mail: MailBox.org
• Notes: Joplin over kDrive WebDAV

Also, general rule for the software is to look for an open source client or for an alternative with no or less trackers implemented.
