Live service games are not only balanced around tedium, they are designed around tedium. Without it people wouldn’t buy boosters etc.

Adapting the meta faster than people can catch up and letting people pay to keep up simply switches the game from balance by tedium to straight up pay to win. Or pay to play optionally, at least, which live service games heavily push you towards doing.

People will chase the meta regardless. Balancing a game by introducing tedium often results in people merely finding the game tedious.

Why the fuck would that be understandable lmao

An external cartridge processing and providing battery power seems like a much better idea than the current solution of wearing the computer on your face. A small shoulder strapped device weighing a few hundred grams with a headset with more of a BSB sort of profile would be ideal for me.

I’m glad to see Apple experimenting with some ideas like this, not so much because I want an Apple headset, but because if it turns out to be a popular idea others will jump on board.

Lol
