@OkIPullUp_@DehyaOfShedTwT @byeruse out of curiosity, why would it be unplayable if we kept the old lighting? i know fuck all about making games, unfortunately
@maikyyprvx3 that first 0/20 game weeds out a solid 70-80% of new players, which is why league almost entirely consists of an "old" playerbase. anyone playing beyond that wants to improve or has been caught in the addiction loop.
riot are trying to change that. i dont see it happening.
This is what GenAI is going to bring you.
-First they phase out consumer access to local compute by pricing you out and forced scarcity.
-Then you have to pay for all processing power to them for working, game/video cloud streaming, they want it to be your only option.
-Then they will charge you, by month, by hour, then by minute.
-Then they will monitor it all and censor it as they please, like Sony wants to do with PlayStation.
-Their Terms of Service will dictate it all and without the power of choice, they won't care how you feel about it.
Full control
Everything As A Service
Surveillance and charging you by the minute for it.
It all will stem from GenAI and data centers, the Trojan horse.
Don't normalize it, don't let it in the gates.
Resist.
