Yeah as great as Splinterlands is it's not really promoting Hive. It's like gaming on consoles. Users would be active on their game communities to connect* with other gamers but they don't really care or need to join any SONY/MICROSOFT forums in order to enjoy their game or interact with their friends.
So what's missing?
*CONNECT.
Hive is losing that to DISCORD.
If users had a chat system ON HIVE then those gamers would have a secondary tool built on Hive that would then be able to present them ability to open new doors and see what else HIVE has.
Shit it's just insane that the same person that built Splinterlands also created BEECHAT yet he doesn't develop it to the point where it can become completely integrated with HIVE and kick discord to the curve.
@aggroed the question becomes.. WHY?
You likely make good dough from SL and will make more now... but then you made a post recently wanting grassroots support for you as a witness.. so then don't you think HIVE needs that chat feature as a fundamental.
BE THE MAN.. MAN!
