Yeap
The best way to describe it (imo) is: Tea-yen Sh-yea
I've heard variations in pronunciations for the pinyin "x" though. I personally pronounce it without an emphasis on the h (s-yea), which I believe is fairly typical for Malaysian Mandarin speakers.
Every time this list is brought up, I always forget darksiders 2 is on it
Some people are seriously overpaid though. Kotick's severance package being able to pay for the combined total of TLOU2 and GTA IV is crazy
Correct
Jadon Schreier has written two great investigative pieces about this:

Man I've been waiting for a game like this for ages. Time will tell how good it ends up being
Everyone picks a streaming service for their needs. YT music has a large library bundled with ad free YT, Apple Music is a natural choice if you're in the Apple ecosystem and Spotify exists too.
I recently switched to Tidal from Spotify and haven't looked back. The UI is familiar enough, having lossless is really nice, and not having my phone lag whenever I open my library is great.
Then there's the other factor of how much each streaming service pays it's artists. To make 1000$ in revenue, this is how many streams an artist needs:
YT Music : 500,000 ($0.002 per stream)
Spotify : 314,465 ($0.00318 per stream)
Apple : 125,000 ($0.008 per stream)
Tidal : 77,882 ($0.01284 per stream)
Granted, musicians almost never make their money from streaming services. However, if an artist were to have that 314k streams on Tidal instead of Spotify, they'd make 4 times as much money.
Meme aside, it's not that big a deal. East Asia gets a very mixed representation in western media, but it's still better than the (effectively) no representation that is typical of SEA (bar like one or two countries).
Inclusion of things like the Keris and races like the Wayang are like a huge breath of fresh air, especially when "Eastern" typically manifests as one of three countries.
I'm holding out hope that a fantasy setting does an interpretation of a toyol or pontianak though.
