Now you got me in the mood for some meat xD
I think we, as a community, need to get a system or a group in place to approve these games and oversee them... don't know how , but I think it would be the for the best, there are too many people that "invest"(if we can call it investing) without thinking that they can be investing in cash grab scheme and that the rules can change any minute... we already had the Magicdice fiasco,the SteemBet fiaco now the drugwars sheepwars fiasco, what next? Maybe Steemmonster will run away with all the tournaments money too...
I'm not a fan of regulations. People will learn on the way but also miss the real opportunity.
Like in real life.
Darwin was right about survival.
I wouldn't say regulations, I was thinking more like, a committee that would go through the games and approve or disapprove them. Of course that the game even if disapproved could still be launched on the chain, but the community wouldn't feel safe putting money in it, while an approved game would make the community feel safer in buying stuff from that game... This would require logistics, incentivization, etc... It's just an idea to prevent this from happening again as best as we can... maybe we don' need this, maybe people will evolve and start choosing more wisely where they park their money...
In the end, I think exactly like you, Darwin 101, the strong survive the weak perish. If you dump money into something that you didn't do any research about then you are asking to get scammed and it's in part your fault...
And also: "Invest only what you are willing to lose"
You see. We all know the rules. The problem is that we don't follow them.
And nobody in the committee will not approve or disapprove anything and be responsible for your decisions. .
