No, those players chose to play the game because of its earning potential. Specifically because in countries like the Philippines, the USD per day was more than many people were making at their 9-5 jobs.

“Admittedly, this isn’t really why you want people playing your game, but it’s a far cry from the “colonialism” or “indentured servitude” or even the “pyramid scheme” you’re accusing these players of perpetrating.”

“play the game”

Out of the four comments this guy’s made, two are here defending this scam and the other two are anti-vax screeds, and out of the two upvotes each of his comments have gotten, half of them are from himself. I don’t think rational thought is within his limited capabilities.

LOL!

When you understand that this person is in the middle of the pyramid scheme and desperately needs new suckers to come aboard so they can pass the lit bomb off, these posts make so much sense. 

“[T]hey are the true ‘Blue-Chip’ leaders of P2E NFT-gaming in the Metaverse” is among the absolute funniest things I’ve ever read in my life

This has to be a joke. No way someone is this deep into fake crypto Pokémon. I can’t accept that the person who wrote this exists and actually believes this shit.

Whenever somebody tells me that “deFi is the future,” I point out that in the 1800s, we had banks issuing their own currency backed with gold and that system had all of the exact same problems the crypto industry is running into. “deFi” is past with processors and math poorly glued onto it like a kid attaching googly…

Ya know, I didn’t think they could find a way to make a cartoon game about forcing animals to fight for your entertainment somehow MORE unethical and yet!

hahaha shut the fuck up.

“2 People were in a room working my life investment.”

Seems like you probably shouldn’t have blown it all on crypto then, loser.

can’t wait for this scam to disappear. 

Nobody ever made me pay for every single piece in Checkers, then pay rent on the spaces I occupied on the board.

It’s extremely easy to write about why those games are fun, Paresh.

Definitely not a game. Its a pyramid scheme that has game like functions but no one plays it for fun.

Jesus Christ, “employees”, “quotas”, etc., that’s the last thing I want to hear about playing a game.

Gee it’s almost like get rich quick schemes and “free money” aren’t tenable.

So someone got pissed that their blockchain investment isn’t profitable and the managers altered the blockchain directly just to keep them happy. Again. Hm. Almost like this whole idea of blockchain being a stable alternative to real-world currency is BS.
