Today: The first debate asked whether to build a chain of their own or keep depending on someone else's infrastructure. Impact and next steps: The disagreement clarified the trade-off.

Background: Management had marked the "infrastructure options" section of the roadmap appendix, and the team had begun mapping costs and risks. Today's internal debate was meant to turn a vague technical ambition into a choice people could examine.

Today: The first debate asked whether to build a chain of their own or keep depending on someone else's infrastructure. Advocates of building one described how outside systems constrained the game experience. The cautious side asked who would handle maintenance, security, and staffing. A-Zhen brought the discussion back to specific cases: which problems had already occurred, and which were only anticipated? The meeting ended without a rushed decision.

Impact and next steps: The disagreement clarified the trade-off. Greater control was appealing, but it would also bring ongoing responsibility. The team planned to list player experience, engineering work, and costs separately for the next discussion. Until the evidence and resource limits were clearer, the route remained open.
