No matter how hard you try to limit the aspect of whales and economy, not to overshadow the sweetness of the game, the fact is that you (the company) will still release sweet NFTs and products that only the Whales can afford.
The reason why it's so is that it's mostly the money of the whales that can actually sustain the game and all that. So some of those crazy commodities are the ones that sort of provides massive ROI for example, owning one land guarantees you 48 SPS per month, imagine if one owns 5 lands. So there's massive money there.
The truth is the game is massively rewarding if you're willing to spend really well and there are people who are totally doing this without thinking of the average people without money. It's a bitter-sweet experience though. But we're glad the value is often maintained.
