RE: The bitter truth about Drug Wars
Look at all the discussions about the game. They are all ROI and profit related. In fact even their logo clearly focused on making profit for playing.
Yet the entire game was build as a ponzi. I suspect not on purpose but more of lack of understanding and ability to add a value element.
I’m pretty confidident in saying 90% are playing purely for financial reasons.
I appreciate your considered reply, and you may not be wrong about 90%. I think you are, but have no metrics to substantiate my opinion, so won't argue the point. The situation is that this is indeed a game, and not a financial vehicle, so if you're right 90% of players are going to learn the difference.
It's very interesting to me to see a game being approached in this way, and I am learning much that will take me a while to grasp fully. It is pretty valuable to understand this particular dynamic going forward, as more games will certainly be made that have a financial component. It's one of the greatest of innovations Steem has brought into the world, and I can see it also impacting many other societal aspects.
Thanks for your substantive contribution to my understanding!
