Yeah, but British is a thing, and everyone knows about it (the British made damn well sure, back when they were the main global bully)... American, on the other hand, doesn't work, because it refers to the whole damn continent, not just the USA... so if we want to refer to the citizens of the US Yankee / Yank is about the only option we have; not the best, maybe, but probably the least worst.
Horoscopes. Fortune cookies. Political speeches.
In the US, sure.
Outside, a Yankee is a Yankee, even if they're cosplaying a ghost while standing in front of a burning cross and waving a confederate flag. We don't care enough to ask in which state they had the misfortune of being born. 🤷♂️
Yankee, or Yank.
You just haven't turned the current high enough.
Yeah, sorry, I was thinking from a PC standpoint and sort of ignored the whole console perspective (though, frankly, the console market seems to have been absolutely fubared from its inception, from a consumer standpoint, so anything Microsoft does will probably be as relevant as farting into an ocean of shit...)
Yeah, I sort of forgot the Angle part of Anglo-Saxon, didn't I..?
(Plus, there was probably quite a bit of Latin already there before the Norse and the Norman, at least south of Hadrian's wall, though far from enough to make Old English a Romance language... all in all English has a very complex history.)
Activision Blizzard was already about as anti-consumer as possible, so in this particular case at worst nothing will change, at best Microsoft might actually clean house and there might be some improvements for the consumers...

Silicon is the second most common element in the Earth's crust... 90% of all rocks are some form of silicate...
Parabolic mirrors.
Visually it's obviously very dated, but I can still whistle Monkey Island's theme any time I want after all these years...
