Yeah I avoided going on a diatribe about the additional product launches that the Splinterlands team has embarked on. I think that behavior on their part is indicative of cashflow issues or greed. The land expansion should have been their first priority, but because they already spent the money they received from the land pre-sale, they need to come up with other ventures to keep funding their operations... so we get Tower Defense, Runicore, Riftwatchers, etc.
While I don't want to tell people to cash out to protect themselves from an eventual rug pull, I don't keep much of anything invested in Splinterlands and simply rent cards for brawls. I think the game "mooned" last year and the best times are behind us. It's why I'm thankful for having gotten involved in the !PIZZA community as it's the primary reason I'm still participating!
Wow, thanks for sharing this view! Sometimes I wonder about what you mentioned too but most people around me are very bullish/positive/excited about the game so it would be awkward raising some of these concerns. Let's see what happens!
