I have to admit... I was thiiiiiissss close to trying the Premium version of that AI Dungeon thing, since I'd heard that the "Dragon" version of the engine was way better than the Griffin version. (And the Griffin version is, itself, orders of magnitude better/smarter than any other chat/story bot I've ever used in the past...)
...but then they did this (which also affects Premium subscribers, apparently, as otherwise that would have actually been a further incentive to subscribe to Premium, rather than leading to a "well, then what's the point of Premium now, other than access to Dragon" moment). Well, thanks for saving me some money, Latitude, I guess. *weary sigh* Look, I understand that they have to make some money on this thing, somehow, but "Facebook-izing" it is not the way to go.
I'll keep playing it until I start seeing that "energy bar" bullshit showing up (which it hasn't yet, for me), then I'll probably just stop altogether.
