Video: Roundabouts Are Safer. So Why Does The U.S. Have So Few Of Them? (CNBC) (17:18)

Because American boomers treat them as 4 way stops and scream when they see a stream of cars zip by not giving them a turn. Their brains simply can't understand how they work. Too much lead paint and leaded gas eating their minds, I guess. My own Dad still swears up and down it's a 4 way stop and it's an hour long rant when two or more cars go buy "because of those damn circles!"

He'd never make it in Europe. Not a chance.

Ubisoft reportedly deleting customer accounts with purchased games if they have been inactive for too long

I've heard they are doing this to comply with things like GDPR. If that's the case, and they are deleting accounts to not be storing personal information longer than allowed, then before closing your account, they should email you an encrypted bundle of your data that you could later send back to them to restore your account. It wouldn't be against those laws if they send it to you to keep... and it would provide you with a path back to full restoration.
