And that's everything you have to say about this mess? Your arguments are ridiculous.
There was no "playing" for the first three weeks of the "game" since they killed battles, only "investing" spending money, real money, in return for the promised payout in STEEM.
"The drugs and guns are virtual but the money is real."
That was the main incentive to why most "played" this "game".
If you want to produce more in-game resources to acquire more liquid STEEM you could have spent some STEEM. Then they diluted that amount and now they are completely removing rewards out of the equation.
But wait, we get a fancy new token we can spend on multiple platforms and maybe even sell it for some STEEM.
No matter how hard you try to polish a turd, it's still a turd and will never be anything more than just a turd.
People spent their money under a different arrangement, expecting to get what was promised to them (a part of the reward pool).
- An easy fix would be to refund all of the STEEM people spent on the game so far and anyone stupid enough to keep spending STEEM after FUTURE is implemented deserves to lose it. But of course, they will never do that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad about the gainz, I ain't lost a cent. On the contrary, I'm made quite a decent profit on all of the accounts I "played" with. But I am upset about how poorly they treated their early investors and how many times they screwed them over.
Anyway, I knew this was going to happen from the beginning as no ponzi can last, just not that it will go down so quickly.
What grinds my gears though, is the fact that they have tarnished the name of this blockchain, forever.
