I'm sure this isn't just a UK problem, I'm sure many countries are reporting worsening behaviour in parents, which filters down to the children. I know it's been a problem for a while where I am!

They did announce an 11" tablet, no idea if it's launched.
It's basically a LCD with a special matte coating, is that it?
Doesn't look that great; reading in-between the mostly positive reviews on Steam, it seems a little repetitive on gameplay and the humour level in it apparently is quite cringe/underdeveloped.
How bad is the scalping? I'm in Singapore and the price premium is about 10%.
The higher price isn't permanent.
I've worked in camera retail and the local shops do just that, actually, and it's effective. The FOMO people get their stuff first at a higher price, the shop gets a boost in margins, and everyone else gets to enjoy cheaper prices three months later (and have the early adopters sit through the bugs and first-run issues).
And that's with a fairly active mod team too. Imagine the spam if there were no controls.
Definitely a good RTS, feels like it peaked with the first Company of Heroes.
Hybrid MMO/ARPG?
Same, Valve needs to get the international distributorship rolling!
Xiaomi currently still is quite friendly towards unlocking bootloaders, so take advantage of it. Try something like Lineage or Pixel Experience.
Unlike a lot of "you" problems, it's not that easy to change. I doubt migrating over a phone is a good idea.
