I did some quick math with metas llama model and the training cost was about a flight to Europe worth of energy, not a lot when you take in the amount of people that use it compared to the flight.

Whatever you’re imagining as the impact, it’s probably a lot less. AI is much closer to video games then things that are actually a problem for the environment like cars, planes, deep sea fishing, mining, etc. The impact is virtually zero if we had a proper grid based on renewable.

I pronounce the j as an r and no one can stop me.

You had me at royal family

So in 2042, if you had the premium battle pass, you could set up one persistent server. It was hosted by them but didn’t disappear without players. I don’t know how it will work for bf6.

I think the most important feature is that we have persistent lobbies that don’t disband after a game like matchmaking. That they “stay online” while nobody uses it is really not the important part imo.

Still, DICE insists the Portal browser will satisfy. It does have some qualities that simulate a classic server experience, like how you can earn full XP in Portal matches as long as the house rules closely resemble the vanilla ones.

From the article.

Your article doesn’t seem to mention it but I did find one that did. They aren’t “splitting” it. They said they would give some money to the employees not eligible for the bonus. It might be like a 50 dollar gift card for all we know.

The 25 million is still going towards the employees as well, the official one in the contract (this part isn’t up to the founders, they don’t have control on the 25 mil).

I’m not sure what difference that makes towards what I’m saying? We dont know if the game is half baked or not. The courts can decide, but at least, we get a game with more content.

we should be able to do what we want with it, including running those max player/max ticket servers that run 24/7 on one map.

You can do this because the game let’s you host a server (your rules or official ones) and includes a server browser so random people can find it and join your game.

We should be able to do it without DICE/EA’s permission

You can’t do this because although there is a server browser, you can’t run private servers disconnected from eas infrastructure.

I am correcting OP because most of what he said in his post and what people are repeating in the comments implies that there is only matchmaking and implies that the first part isn’t possible.

Source saying the founders were gonna take the 225 million they were getting out of the 250 and spreading it with their crew?

Krafton said they were gonna pay the 25 million of the bonus meant for the crew regardless from what I understand, I think you are getting your facts mixed up (and being condescending about it).

It bothers me because 90% of the people in the conversation think there will be only matchmaking and nothing else because of how OP framed it.

You want to talk about how you can’t have your own private server completely disconnected for EA, fine. But that doesn’t mean the game has no browser, jfc.

They will have community servers with its own browser. The servers will have full xp as long as the rules are close to the official ones.

Matchmaking wont be the only option.

There is a server browser. There are no servers hosted on private machines. I would like fully private servers too but there is still a server browser regardless.

You are conflating two different things.

That’s more then a server browser. You are just being deceptive. You cherry picked the one quote in the article that makes it look like there is nothing in your post and your comments aren’t honest.

What you are talking about is a whole other debate entirely and simply not how the industry runs anymore when it comes to multiplayer shooters.

I want that stuff too but that’s not what server browser means. The finals and cod don’t have server browsers. Bf6 will have a server browser.

They are implementing just that. Official servers don’t show up on it but everything hosted by the community does.

That’s exactly what they did. You have official matchmaking, then you have community servers people host. If you use official rules, you can still earn xp in the community servers.

They have a server browser, official matchmaking servers just don’t show up but they only last one game anyways.

They are persistent, they stay open as long as someone is in it. No one is kicked after the game.

Bypass dice isn’t a feature but a fantasy, never happening. I don’t really get what it would bring to the table either.

They have a browser where you can run your own games. If you use official rules, you get full xp. I don’t get what people are complaining about.

You can earn full XP in Portal matches as long as the house rules closely resemble the vanilla ones

They are still releasing it in early access it seems, they are just delaying it.

The team is still getting paid their bonus, and they have more time to implement more things before the early access release from what I understand.

I kind of prefer my games delayed. Maybe its ready to leave now and the delay is a big scam but all im seeing is less pressure on the team making it and more content. For the rest, they can figure it out in court.

That’s the thing tho, they said they would honor the bonus for every employee except those three. Granted the three were getting the lionshare of the bonus, almost all of it, so the publisher is still saving money but they aren’t screwing over the actual people making the game in regards to this.

We get a delayed release with more content which is usually a good thing imo. Worse case scenario is three dudes getting screwed out of half of their 500$ million paycheck. Just pointing out that it isn’t a bad situation per say for consumers. If the game was lacking, we are being done a favor.

I’m certain there are clauses that demand a certain level of content and quality.

We currently don’t know which party is acting in bad faith. The publishers could be delaying to avoid the payout or the 3 founders could be rushing to get the payout. It’s true that a shit half baked game would ruin the series and cause damages, if there is an actual lack of content, there is justification in delaying it.

I guess we will get a clearer picture as the lawsuits draw to a close and the game is released.
