Thanks @newageinv! Well, it did bring in a lot of new people to eth. How didn't it clog up the system? I remember that right at around the time kitties came out, the fees were quite hefty if you wanted a fast transaction. Or a transaction to go through, at all.
Also, the whole blockchain was almost falling appart at 100% load on the network. Barely able to hold up.
Remember trying to sent a couple of dollars to play an eth based game and the gas it required was around 20 cents, to send like 5 dollars or something.
