RE: The bitter truth about Drug Wars
I just broke even today (thanks !bookkeeping bot). But that was on 5 Steem.
Getting in and out early is the key with pyramid/ponzi schemes. Just like 'Buy low, sell high'; Early is one of those moments you can only discern in hindsight.
If this game explodes for 3 years and ends up with a billion players, then a guy who gets in a year from now is going to be real happy with his total ROI. If the money dries up tomorrow, the guy who paid in yesterday is going to feel like he was taken.
If the game was in any way hiding its nature I'd have boycotted on ethical grounds, but we all know what we're getting into.
Who knows, though. The devs might roll out some advertising or start moving merch; they're going to want to keep the gravy train running.
This IS a game, not a stock. I find it kinda odd that so many people are so focused on ROI in a game meant to deliver entertainment. It's an interest people have, I guess, so where it's an aspect of a game, it seems to capture their attention well.
I would love to see potential returns on investments added to many games, as I'd like to see how that impacts the communities playing those games. I wonder if there are games where adding such a feature actually causes current communities to dislike it. I bet such games do exist, and that experiments along these lines will reveal some fascinating things about society and how various communities view money and other societal values.
Something you don't discuss in your comment is that having better resources earlier in the game due to investing capital in it could make people glad they did it so that they can maintain an advantage over other players in gameplay dynamics. It seems possible that only the economic aspects of the game are interesting to you, given your comment. Steem's an interesting technological development that's creating new paradigms not only in social media and economics, but now gaming.
Enjoy!
hey cool I didn't know about bookkeeping bot :) Cheers
!bookkeeping drugwars well I did it too.. invest in the game early knowing I won't get it all back. Or in a year or so.

How close are you to breaking even now?
Knowing all that you have spent so much money?

Those who got in early will be fine. But if you make 100 Steem a day today you will make 7 in 30 days from now. By then it should be far more difficulty to “break even”
