  Sure but does that outweigh the costs that google was eating while using the browser as a loss leader for search and ads? I doubt they’re going to keep hosting and distributing updates from their CDN for free.

  why would anyone buy it when it’s primary profit-generating activity is driving traffic to google

  Unless you’re expecting a third game in a series.

  They don’t need an AI to spy, they literally have full control of the OS. It’s just your regular everyday vertically integrated forced advertising garbage.

  that is an extremely debatable, incredibly hot take. i wasn’t a fan of cloud and surface spam but lets not pretend that 5e’s combat is universally loved, either. larian made it work pretty well by sanding off some edges here and there but it’s, at best, a sidegrade.

  Yeah I agree. They deserve a lot of credit for elevating D&D rather than relying on it to elevate the game. The result is grater than the sum of its parts; both D&D and Larian reached a wider audience through the collaboration.

  Anyone who played Larian’s previous titles can tell you the only thing DnD brought to the table was a popular license.

  Continuing to be amazed that the Pinkertons both still exist and are still up to their old tricks. Nothing is ever learned.
