Do you think this counts towards "second layer" crypto endeavors as well? I am getting more and more upset with aggroed and his empire of "decentralization." As far as I can tell the only thing decentralized about Hive-engine and splinterlands is that the jsons get sent via the hive blockchain. That's it. The Hive-Engine company controls everything else from the Dark Energy Crystals and the Splinterlands cards to the newly created NFT Showroom and the soon to come photography related nft sites. I am starting to think that these projects in the direction they are currently headed are not good for the blockchain if they continue being centrally tied to the hive-engine site and/or its tokens.

Am I just completely off base in thinking this?

Also, hello fellow Husband of a teaching canadian. The union is weird. Sometimes they do the right thing and other times they do the complete opposite of right thing to the point where you wonder which team they're truly batting for.
