Why? That’s such a stupid move

I don’t know about Into the Breach but I have BTD6 with no Netflix account

Great list but idk why you put “Requires Netflix.” None of these require Netflix.

I have the exact same color scheme, set up to match the color of the Triumph Street Triple that is my wallpaper.

If this is true, try to swing the results in your favor. Don’t succumb and log in, just close YouTube.

Candy Crush didn’t even exist until 8 was the latest Windows, so I’m gonna say Windows 8

Windows 8 marked the point in my opinion. It’s when they tried to start locking down the operating system and focusing heavily on the cloud. The adware began in this era as well.

The “MuseHub 2.0” part worries me. Muse Hub is an incredibly useless and bloated launcher I didn’t ask for sneakily bundled with MuseScore that constantly attempts to run in the background as if it was malware.

I thought UWP/Metro was Win8/10. Win11 is “Fluent”. Perhaps there were 4 phases, not just 3, but my post was already getting too long and the WinForms phase has been pretty much fully conquered by today’s fast hardware.

It’s not “macro” if it’s a one-off custom build.
