interesting scenario:
In few years if Splinterlands will continue growing to the point, their gameplay will stop hive blocxkchain. Then they remove gameplay from the blockchain, nothing really change for the game, they lose some stats, but hive works.
I guess all of us in scenario above prefer working hive than better stats ?
Similar way you can see your post and this create stats approach way as dangerous, how many splinterlands we can have on hive before hive will stop working? If all the mentioned by you applications will start using their users to broadcast more transactions to increase stats, when it ends?
Not sure this by stats approach works, especially on free blockchain, and how unhealthy it is for the blockchain itself.
