You should have done some research about this topic before posting. The cost of setting up the token is in ENG, which uses Steem to purchase, keeping all of the costs of setting up and running the tokens and tribes within the Steem ecosystem. None of the cost is going to outside sources. It is all going through Steem Engine.
Yes this is true . Perhaps I have not done enough research on this . But palnet, battlegames and steemleo all have their own websites and I’m sure there is a lot of other costs they would have had setting these sites up. Dtube went as far as to launch their own blockchain.
As I said this is just my opinion.
Thanks for stopping by @derangedinvestor .
Have an awesome day!
