The per viewer cost saving must be fractions of a penny.

For a national television, sure. For the hundreds of thousands of small influencers seeing this free advertisement on TV, it would be a major cost saving.

Imagine all the ladies from the tiktok mills not having to make funny faces on camera for hours at a time anymore.

Talk about the uncanny valley… They look like an instagram filter dialed up to 11.

Can’t wait for the first pair of twins to sue each other.

From the promotional materials I’ve seen so far, the game seems to be a showcase for the SpacetimeDB backend so this move does actually make sense.

Question for the general public. Why not use the DNS server provided by your ISP?
