    “AI free” is the same thing as “Lootbox free”

    It’s an inclusion that significantly helped the executive bottom line, while harming the player experience. You run into these sorts of conflicts when there is a struggle between the art, and the money made from the art.

      How does including “lootbox free” harm the player experience? Unless you mean that’s what the lootbox is doing?

        That is in fact what I mean.

        AI and lootboxes are both technologies that increase the money-making potential of a game at the cost of the experience. Ie: games are made worse for their inclusion, but it happens because the suits want a bigger paycheck.
