Hello Guys,
Today I am talking about this Expansive, boring and not funny game. That they call CryptoKitties.
I saw lots of people talking about CryptoKitties, in the last days and was looking to this game and initially it looks an amazing Card Collectible Game but looking closer, it is noting so special at all, even more, it is not so new, Steam have a similar system, they have those collectible Steam Cards from his games (CSGO Skins also are a good example too).
I take a look into CryptoKittiesand I collected some points bring to this post, like breed, sell, gift, siring and fees.
First of all the game is not intuitive, it is easy to play but still not intuitive.
You have 2 main sections: MyKitties and Market
In MyKitties you will find all Kitties/Cats that you have and a status resume, like if they are on marking for sale.
In Market (Where all shi... magic happens) you will find cats to buy (they are sent by other “players”) and you can find cats to foc... to make love with your cat (Important note, you can put together male x male, female x female and you will receive a kitty, behind the scene it is a really important point to help broke the taboo about sexuality)
You will find zillions of cat with "catributes" mixed, some catributes are more rare than others, all cats have pretty nice details in his card image but that is all. The cats have Zero Interaction with you, they don't play, don't repeat your voice (like Tom), they don't do nothing.
Now the DARK part. The game at this point is for rich people play, because everything you want to do is PAID, even the "free" options are Paid. For example if want a cat you should pay for it (OK its fair but...) but you will pay for the cat+fee (and it is not fair), if you want sell a cat you should pay, if you want a new baby using 2 cats, that you are owner, you should pay, if you want to put your cat together with some cat in siring market you will pay and for last and not less important even if you want give your cat for free to someone like a gift you will pay! In resume, it is a game? YES, but an expansive game, each action could worth around $5 just in fees.
Talking about fees, it not easy to understand if you are new in Crypto, all this thing about GAS Price and GAS Limit is a littlebit confuse for who is jumping in this game today, if set low values for GAS the fee that you will pay, will be low but you will increase the risk of your transaction get stuck for hours.
Preview how Ether works:
To finish my post... Do not take me wrong, I am not here to try a sabotage, I really like the conception of this game, but maybe, build it up Ethereum was not a good idea, imagine in that away, each time that I post in Steemit I should pay a fee and you my follower to Reply, Read and Resteem should pay a fee, not fair right?
I am not a programmer or Crypto specialist, I am an enthusiastic like half zillions in Crypto space but I think that this kind project could be associated in games like CSGO where you "buy a cat" and can shoot with that and all others players could see your cat on fire...
Thanks !
I am Not rich :) I have to Mine at least 1 week to get $30 in Ethereum I cannot put in CAT fees but if you have lots of Ether I have empty wallet right here: 0x4Ae5810FcAE09De16700630C4282FDF9EA41F45a :P
