Maybe they can maybe they can't? we all take the same chance even buying btc everyday. You think large holders don't have a certain control over it? You think we couldn't wake up tomorrow and it be worthless? Any coin out there for that matter. Yea the team is not setting any blazing records, they also do not have near the size (devs,marketing so on) funds or time to establish that most teams have they get compared to. What I do know is they have had every aspect of what they have done picked apart by members here and keep going. Everybody measures success different so what's a success to me is not to somebody else as we have seen with gravity. I chose to give them a chance knowing Huey has a backround in the gaming industry and the team has built what they did with the small amount of money and small team they have. I think if they do build it out to where they want it to and it all functions on its own on the chain I believe it could end up being a lot larger than it is.
False equivalency. BTC for all its faults and looming forks is nowhere near the catastrophe that is this 100%-premined centralized coin. I get that your argument seems to lean towards "high risk high reward" but at some point you have to realize there is no reward. The flagship game 1 year in the making is being propped up by fake reviews. There isn't a horde of new bagholders willing to take your bags.
It's the same basic argument that we had 1 year ago and 2 years ago. If the "team" was capable of a miraculous resurrection of a dead coin (XPY) why not start a new one without the baggage? Ok, it turned out they're not capable but it took them a year to realize that AND they did start a new one when the plan collapsed. If the "team" is now all about gaming why invent a bicycle and not use one of the existing coins? Or if the "team" is all about crypto integration why not partner with existing games?
I have a feeling we'll see another "oops" and a pivot to something else. Ability - or lack thereof - to recognize their own limitations is the killer here. I'm sure given enough time a monkey could produce Hamlet but the rest of the world is not going to wait. If whatever the "team" is trying to do is worth doing - someone more capable will do it sooner.
Most likely though it's a solution in search of a problem. Last 2-3 years have shown an overwhelming lack of demand for the convoluted PNG schemes, except for a brief moment when it ran in full ponzi mode. Not sure what makes you and some others think that a fresh coat of paint can make it viable.
The "on the chain" thing isn't happening, they don't have crypto developers other than an occasional freelancing kid. They seem to have a web (PNG) dev and looks like half a game dev. No QA or PM though. If lack of size/resources is a problem then it's not going to fix itself. Gravity doesn't seem to be bringing cash in. Another round of crowdfunding?
This whole thing is probably some kinky S&M shit, maybe that's why I don't get it.
