I would argue that the credit of first 3D open-world game belongs firmly to Mercenary from 1985, and not to Hunter with it's 1991 release date. Mercenary is a 3D vector environment where one can navigate the environment freely, on foot

The best exploration of this theme that I have read, was an East German SF novel from the former GDR. Unfortunately, as far as I know, it has never been translated into English. Here is a very short synopsis on the authors website in Englis

There's more to the story than that. The last German government before Merkel came to power, was a coalition between the Green party and the Social-Democrats (SPD), this government decided to phase-out nuclear power in Germany in favor

Do you have source for that claim? I tried to find that recommendation, but all I came up with, was this fact check [1]. According to the fact check the CDC did NOT change cycle threshold, and the thresholds used to decide if test result is
