"From a software standpoint, replays are essentially shippable, which is why it is on the PBE and being refined in a live state"

"We had the fortunate and unfortunate situation of being a no-name company with very limited capital (money)"

"Less than 10% of our devs work on skins. Monetization and content is the least prioritized "initiative" we have actually, it is just a lot higher visibility than a lot of things that go on behind the scenes that we will release over the coming months or that goes to improving our underlying tech, infrastructure, etc."

I don't want a new fiora VU and splash art. I don't want some bullshit new HUD. I don't need 5 new skins released every patch.

I want a fucking replay system you've promised for years, a new working tribunal (which has been promised for at least a year), and functional client which half of the userbase doesn't crash on every patch you release. I want balance changes not to take 3 weeks and OP champs run amok for months at a time.

"Millions upon millions of our players spend zero dollars on league and enjoy it endlessly. We're COMPLETELY OK with this. Greedy how? You do not have to spend money, it is completely opt-in"

Basically says "hey we get it that we have paying customers but fuck them, you don't gotta pay if you don't wanna even though it operates our business"
