RE: You may have lost me Splinterlands

It will be interesting to see the direction the DAO pushes the game.
I'm probably doing this backwards; I just played my first Splinterlands match yesterday. I'm also somewhat more interested in the low-level game since part of its utility to me is as a "gateway drug" to Hive.
Not counting the spellbook that I bought years ago, I think my current team of cards cost about $2.50 - I've just made a water element deck so far, though.
I am going to make myself more competent at the low level game, and I'm interested in seeing how long that has good ROI in terms of fun.
My earlier experiences with WEB3 Gaming were on the Avalanche Chain at the height of the DeFi boom. The cost to play in some of those projects was steep, and most of them weren't even really games at all but more properly DeFI with gamified elements. When the market collapsed most of those assets went to zero pretty fast.
It will be interesting to see if adequate utility can be created for those land assets you hold to recover or realize the value you expended to obtain them.
Splinterlands definitely has a lot going for it and a huge amount of potential if they do it right. Most NFT or blockchain games these days are just glorified faucets. Splinterlands has always been a bit more than that, but like I said, the shine is starting to fade I fear.
