RE: Preliminary Announcement of Proposals for Feeless SWAP & Hive Onboarding
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
No I am certainly not asking for the game to be released and have a "chokehold" on accounts.
I think it is realistic to expect some sort of demonstration of the things I have suggested. All we have seen so far is a buggy single player experience. Sure there has been some development on the website and on the marketplace- neither of which demonstrate the ability to go from buggy single player unity experience to full fledged multiplayer brawler with direct connections to assets on chain. In fact the existence of the marketplace before the assets can be used in game is somewhat concerning by itself.
I also think it is completely ludicrous to ask for 2.7 million USD just to fund hive accounts! If the game wants to provide a free player experience there are other ways that don't require this from the community- for example players could play for free and without a hive account until they have earned enough LVL to fund the creation of an account and start to withdraw earnings and acquire NFT's. Besides which the amount of HP being requested in one of these proposals could also be used to claim account creation tokens regularly using its RC.
As I suggested in a previous comment- at this time there is no reason to think that this amount of accounts will be needed until we have seen what the game is actually going to be capable of.
I agree that getting a macro overview of the intended direction is beneficial- and each of the individual proposals will indeed be voted on their own merit. Having said that- claiming that the project will need a million new hive accounts looks to me like an attempt to drive more hype... and most of what we have seen so far is just that... hype.
Acknowledging the achievements of games like RS and other HIVE games that actually function on chain and have communities engaged in them is important. These games are successful without asking for additional funds from the community. They are proof that developing crypto games is possible- and difficult- yet the difficulty in what psyberx wants to achieve is far far greater. Skepticism on this is totally reasonable!
As I have said in comments many times before- I acknowledge the difficulty of this project, and wish it the greatest of success- but I won't be backing it until such time that it can demonstrate it can deliver on what it promises. Even waiting until then- it will still be early.
In my opinion the 1 million is not enough yet we will see, no proposal will be launched for some time, this is merely a preliminary announcement to talk with the community, so if many agree with you things will change and maybe proposals will be scrapped all together. The main purpose of this is to find more strong Hive Developers to join us whether funded partially with Hive or not is fine, just speeds things up.
I understand that! I am just providing my feedback and opinions on this. I don't believe the best use of the DHF is the funding of hive accounts- and I don't believe that a project that has already had a substantial raise through token and NFT sales should be pursuing further funding in this way when we still have very little to go on!
