that was me who talked about it previously, i'm unsure why you bought it up because it was discussed over a month ago
i do think the way they make games is also a bit inefficient, if you look at some of the pics they post of their work are are being done "in progress" it's always artistically and visually pretty much finished, like the rendering lighting, meshes, texturing, everything
meanwhile when they made wow they used placeholders, recycled icons from wc3, empty meshes/maps, cookie cutter visuals and built everything equally from the ground up like you can see in the imgur gallery
now it may seem stupid but it feels like riot just skips out on that major step which is why a lot of actual depth in gameplay/content is missing, the fighting game has about 10 (?) or so characters, the game that was in wip that was previewed once years and years ago looked like a finished product but was probably dead in terms of actual gameplay apart from basic attacks and controls (aka resources wasted to make it look polished), even stuff like the card game was mainly fluffed with visuals like cutscenes, splash arts, etc but (i think?) they completely ruined the gameplay of it, etc.
If they did make an mmo and completely nuked it and made everything, even the visuals and assets, from scratch which is likely then that just means the mmo will literally never come out since so much time went on it
they'll also probably completely rework the gameplay/reward systems (like said before) with gatchas since that's definitely where things are going with riot thesedays
