Background: The studio's roadmap still centered on games; the “infrastructure option” had previously sat only in an appendix. A-Zhen, an engineer who had read the Nitro testnet documentation, thought the alternative deserved a careful assessment. The team also had immediate gameplay and staffing problems.
Today: BTC fell back to USD 23,500. Management highlighted the “infrastructure option” in the roadmap appendix and asked that it receive more than a passing mention in discussion. A-Zhen suggested putting the game problems it might solve and the extra maintenance it might require on the same page, so novelty alone would not dictate a change of direction.
Impact and next steps: The marked appendix turned infrastructure from a passing possibility into an option requiring serious evaluation; it was not a decision to build. A-Zhen needed to fill in the grounds for choosing, while the production team needed to explain where existing gameplay was falling short. Only then could the discussion address concrete costs.
