Hi @davidke20,
Thanks for this feedback, most of the points are relevant and can help people to understand the current situation with DrugWars and maybe still prevent them of confusing the game with an investment tool.
I never tought that the FUD, FOMO and FUBAR are going to be so big and I regret to not have made some changes earlier, to avoid any confusion.
Claiming that the game was an early access wasn't enough to advice people and to prevent them to spend money without being totally conscious that the rules were able to change to improve the game. Some Steemians told me to put a big message and I wish I have put it before the changes.
But we can't go back and I still think that we made the best choice possible to reduce the lose of people with our airdrop. Even more now since the price of FUTURE made a big progression in the internal exchange. Most of them can now get back a reasonable part of what they have spend, and to be honest that remove a big weight of my shoulders.
I want the game to be free and playable for free and as you said in those conditions nobody should have expected to become rich by playing drugwars. Even if holding FUTURE can be interesting for many different reasons, I really advice to anyone to play for the fun and to not consider playing drugwars as a daily job, like any other games.
I totally understand the fear of players and even if sometime I'm more afraid myself I do my best to keep calm and find a solution which keep the situation the most fair as possible for players.
We are a small team, and the community should not forget that, we are taking risk day per day to improve each aspect of the game and for sure our gains does not represent 1/4 of what we have spent to develop the game at this current stage. But this is our choice and we are glad to have a mechanism that give back 80% to the gamers, we will continue in the same way until we success or are not able to maintain the project.
We still have many works to do before having a complete game, and even if we are a bit slow I hope sincerely that we will bring more fun to players with our next updates.
Again thanks for sharing your toughts.
