> Unfortunately as time has gone on the AIs seem to have got worse and the base building strategies side-lined, removed or punished. I played a lot of StarCraft with my brother against AIs when I was younger. I have since played a lot of multiplayer games, but as you said, it's not as relaxing, which is what I want from games nowadays when I take the time to play them. I don't expect the OpenAI initiative with Dota 2 to automatically lead to better games AI in the foreseeable future, but I hope it might lead to a renewed interest in them in games, and in time something simulating real players in more games (minus the toxicity, and being pausable without anyone wasting anyone elses time).
