Oh I agree with you these changes are so frustrating from the end user perspective regarding YouTube or even websites for that matter. I don't like reviewing videos and then question whether I've watched it or not. You investigate to find out oh yeah a new thumbnail and title after I've already seen it.
I've come across quite a few website posts that say one title in the head tag but then another on the page itself as a heading. Which honestly has been quite misleading.

After installation of the game in Lutris it will not run without crashing. However, it will work with just a few modifications.
Change executable from BountyTrainGoG.exe to BountyTrain.exe under "Configure" > "Game options" > "Executable".
Change Wine version from "lutris-5.7-11-x86_6x" to "wine-ge-8-26-x86_64" or "proton 6.3" under "Configure" > "Runner options" > "Wine version".
