HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. I have to confess, I wasn’t expecting where Prodigy decided to go with Dal R’El, but I think it works really well, given what Prodigy is all about, thematically speaking. Star Trek has long been a franchise characterized by found family, but Prodigy has made it a little more explicit. Zero finds his collective. Gwyn chooses her own family, and now, Dal must face that his crew is his family in a much more literal sense.

Machine Learning based systems have potentially huge input spaces with probabilistic outcomes from ML models. To test such probabilistic systems, Metamorphic testing is used to describe the system functionality in terms of generic relations between inputs, the generic transformations of those inputs and their outputs, rather than as mappings of specific inputs to specific outputs.

Not all of them do this, but many of them do now. It’s been this way for a long time already. Games today get patches quite regularly. Console certification even has a “conditional pass” result where the submitted version of the game passes cert, but requires the publisher to submit a day 1 patch to fix a bunch of additional issues (e.g. Cyberpunk 2077, where they actually failed cert on their day 1 patch, leading to a post-gold delay).

Nah, it isn’t possible. The act of cutting content requires us not just to remove the cut content itself, but we also need to clean up all existing connections to that cut content so that the game doesn’t break due to missing assets. This means that re-adding the content later will require us to create a bunch of new connections to the game to make the content connect with the greater whole that is the game.

I think you’re missing something important here. Our overall goal with these balance updates isn’t necessarily to achieve perfectly balanced matchups. It isn’t even to achieve game balance that is “good enough”. The real purpose of balance updates is to keep the game interesting to the community so they want to keep playing it. We’re going to make balance changes even if the game is perfectly balanced already, because an unbalanced game that is interesting is infinitely better than a boring game
