Things pretty much look doomed. There are still players left who are willing to buy whatever new set they put out but as Rebellion has shown, this group clearly continues to shrink. Close to zero new players will come in since they need to have the belief that the cards that they buy could go up in value or that they at least could get good earnings.

Splinterlands gameplay to outsiders now just looks like a simple flash game with a crazy cost attached to it at 4$+ a pack and thousands needed to be somewhat competitive not even talking about the previous set while getting crushed of them is near guaranteed. The only way to get away with this is in peak delusional crypto hype stage which is unlikely to come back since there are so many holders who are looking to dump. What the hell are they expecting.

Also, how does it make sense to sell more cards while there is a crazy oversupply just to cover the costs developing the set and the cards while it will further devalue the older ones.

You are right. Now with leagues removed and the massively printed soulbound cards, standard play is now max level. Not many will pay $5k+ for a new deck with the massive depreciation that will come with it and for this gameplay.

They probably could sell many packs if they put them at a sensible price level $1 each... the days of $4 a pack are done!

I still think there is no guarantee of another alt season, Bitcoin dominance is just going up.. all inflows are just to Bitcoin... one thing is sure, the NFT hype is totally faded..

imo altcoin season will be way more selective on coins where people have the belief they can do a crazy multiple. In other words, memecoins which will suck out all of the speculative value from most other memecoins.

I had the town hall on in the background and it's crazy how positive they still are kind of ignoring all the problematic aspects of the situation right now.

The only hope Splinterlands has is to create a game experience for new players which is so much fun that they don't really care too much about making money on their investment. The game is just very far away from that and I would argue it used to be a whole lot better in the past when things were way less complicated. Too many cards, too many confusing game rules and abilities, SPS staking requirements now on top of owning cards, ... it's all just too much to be interesting for new players.

I agree. It is a similar story on Hive. The new things are gonna pump, not old stuff so bag holders can dump on them.. the fundamentals need to be fixed and sustainable things done, the time for blagging is coming to an end.

Totally agree with the myriad of rules, ironically it makes it less human friendly and better for bots. Not taking bots out of the game is a huge mistake.

At the end of the day, it is what it is and the team will do what they want and players will either leave or adapt. I think you mentioned in only will make sense to have Soul Bound decks going forward..
