No disagreement had become a decision, but the central difficulty was now clear: near-term game development and long-term infrastructure would both require people.

The strategy meeting was set for the next day, and the studio had moved from complaining about existing chains toward preparing for a choice. A-Zhen was organizing technical questions while others still had games under development to tend to. In a weak market, any new direction had to account for the resources it would consume.
The day appeared quiet, with BTC around USD 16,500. Conversations before the meeting, however, grew terse. Some wanted to improve the game in front of them first; others worried that accommodating the same on-chain limits would pass those problems to the next game. Everyone sensed that tomorrow's discussion would be more than a technology purchase.
No disagreement had become a decision, but the central difficulty was now clear: near-term game development and long-term infrastructure would both require people. The team left the argument for the formal meeting, where each position would need to rest on concrete requirements rather than allowing the depressed market to decide for them.
