@957492b3 BDO has a bad history of being obnoxiously P2W but they've moved beyond it significantly by both reducing the competitive aspect of the game itself and making changes to the items in the shop. It's not perfect, but I've spent over 19k hours playing it so it must be at least halfway acceptable :panic_intensifies: 

 @957492b3 I think I've probably become too cynical :panic_intensifies: 

 @957492b3 I agree with you that it will be able to run locally but I don't think it will. Not because it can't but because large tech companies prefer to own, and have access to, our data. If the data is stored locally it's harder to monetize.
