The game certainly has problems, but the lack of fast travel is demonstrably an intentional decision to encourage the style of gameplay they envision, not some lack of functionality. This is exactly what mods are for.

I live in a fishing town, and I used to love crab, until I was adult and it was my turn to prep them. The first time I turned a crab over and saw the bottom, where all its freaky little legs connect, I had a real "oh god this is either a bug or a space alien" moment. I can't stand crab anymore, just the thought of it makes me feel nauseated. Lobster too. Somehow shrimps are okay, though.

"Equal" has a slightly different meaning in fair division problems. It doesn't mean "the exact same quantity of matter", so not being able to judge exactly 1/3 of the apple doesn't super matter (though your seed problem can be solved by cutting diagonally through the apples rather than along one side), but rather, that each person gets a portion they value at least as much as the others; maybe some people are willing to take a smaller piece if it means they have no seeds, maybe some people are going to peel their piece so they care more about having the largest internal volume, maybe some people plan to plant the seeds and so they actually value them, maybe some people only care about having the biggest piece.

In practice, for three people this can take as few as 2 cuts or as many as 6; since there's two apples and we can do 2 cuts with one stroke here, there is a fair division solution, but it only works if things go perfectly:

The first person cuts the apples into 3 shares they think are of equal value (perhaps they hate apple cores, so they cut one side off both as above)

The second person points out which share(s) they think are the best

The third person takes the share they consider to be most valuable

The second person takes the share they consider to be most valuable

The first person takes the remaining share, which, since they cut, they must consider equal to the other two.

If the second person doesn't think at least two shares are of equal value, the problem becomes impossible to resolve without more knifeplay.

"Denuvo removed" means, like I said before, the publisher stopped paying the denuvo license and voluntarily removed it from the game themselves.

There are better, less visually assaulting ways to do it. Several of them are in Tekken 8. There are like, twenty filter options. This is one of them. Even the "concerned comments" acknowledge that, and their only angle is "this one might cause seizures in people who elect to try it, and that's dangerous."

A wikipedia sources list is not some sort of list of all available data on a subject. It's a list of what information was used to build the article.

On anything remotely divisive, there will be available primary sources for multiple viewpoints, and obviously a slanted article will largely contain sources supporting its slant and leave out sources that don't. Just checking the sources can easily result in the illusion of consensus where there is none.
