First things first: humor - damn you AZ!!! You're making me extremely sensitive to my "vote size" loooooooooooooooooooool

It's getting bigger though!!!!! HAHAHA :P

Ok onto the real reply lol

There is no "hate" but there is a good bit of frustration and disappointment.

I, like many others, have seen pretty much everything related to this game go deep into the red for years... but I have continued to put money in and support a game/ecosystem that has not rewarded me (yet). Dollar Cost Averaging is a stressful thing lol

Like a bunch of other past issues, there wasn't much communication about when/what/how etc and it wasn't very clear as it was written...

For perspective, on my end, all I was hearing was: "People are bitching in Tavern and others and Splinterlands is going to stop SPS Rewards"... then I see the Poll... which didn't give much context either.

My thoughts immediately went to "Oh no... I was finally making something happen here... it's getting yoinked... WHY???"

Without much clarification, the frustration from previous hyped up buys "Licenses", "Land", "CP Cards" etc etc etc... was present in my replies.

Now, upon reading your reply it makes WAY MORE SENSE.

If DC was obligated to do certain things in order to receive the Reward Pool... and they aren't doing them... then it needs to end.

It still sucks because it means my investments will suffer but I understand that aspect of business.

The second part is equally as understandable, upon explanation.

A. "They're going to cut off SPS Rewards [No timeline give] because people are bitching in Tavern!!"

is very, VERY different from

B. "If DC fails to meet the contractual obligations set forth by Dec 31st, we will terminate our end of the agreement."

I'm sure you can see how Option A looks like a shitty rug-pull scenario, whereas your explanation of Option B - well, that's just business 🤝

I hope they don't discontinue it because I am good at the game and I found my niche to earn a decent pool of SPS HAHAHA

Thank you again for the vote and clarification 🤙
