I find the claim that RS isn't an investment to be somewhat deceptive. You can claim that it isn't intended to be an investment all you want, but the structure of the game itself sort of contradicts that. The more you invest > the more NFTs you acquire > the higher rate of STARBIT earnings you receive. The game has a clear ROI incentive, it even states it clearly that the goal of the game is to earn money while playing. There isn't a player in the game who spent money on it without the intent to increase their STARBITS accrual (earnings) (taxable income?).
I feel like if the game was truly intended to just be a game and not an earnings / investment vehicle, then a lot of these rules wouldn't need to exist. What would it matter how many accounts someone has or what it does to the market if the money is of no consequence? If it was a fake market? There would be no harm in it. But it is a real market, and the money IS of consequence.
Anyways, I just wish people would just call a spade a spade.
I'm a fan of RS and understand why all of these rules exist, this particular little nit-pick just annoys me is all.
