Since the news of changes that are coming into Splinterlands came out, there seems to be mixed feelings happening around the users of Splinterlands. As a fellow investor, player, team members, lots of combined reactions are currently going into the mind of these class of people. This is indeed a big change that took place and needless to say, the impact of this news are already being seen within the game.
Splinterlands has come a long way since its inception! When the game itself started it was nothing but few people and a big dream to make something big out in the blockchain of HIVE (previously steem blockchain, lets not go there or else its going to be another blog post of sth else). It was few people who believed in core team and showed appreciation towards the game. Investments started flowing, thus the game started the journey. (I'm pretty sure you would also agree, this was not as easy as it sounds).
Splinterlands, was only about cards (NFT) back than. It has come so far, now we have quite a lot of attributes to it. We have cards, packs, DEC, our own governance token SPS, Licenses, Runi and upcoming land expansion. Quite a big run for the play to earn game. I can name multiple play to earn games which started before and after Splinterlands but till date their names vanished into thin air. I must say, coming far had its challenges but this is definitely not the end.
From scratch the market cap of Splinterlands cards alone has reached above 55 million. SPS has a market cap of $16,908,101.DEC has a market cap of $3,158,000 This is quite an achievements from my POV. 728 ETH volume has been achieved in Runi buy/sell in opensea. There are not many NFT projects which has seen this much volume over the life span of their project. Which project has this much dedicated community where they burn their own money that even in thousands of bucks for a better growth of the game itself (DEC Burning Event). The official account of Splinterlands (
3,254,631 HP, which is actively curating Splinterlands blog/vlog everyday. In almost every presale events the community of Splinterlands has supported the sales. Which made countless presales event a grand success. Now we are slowly walking towards decentralization. True and actual worth of web3 is finally upon us and probably after few years when we look back to the current situation, we will be able to stay this is how you transform! Splinterlands still has a dedicated community, a team of fine DEV's, investors are here to make the game reach its higher highs!

Yes, the time is difficult as 
Various aspects are on the plate of the team as of now. It is definitely a very hard time going on for the team of Splinterlands and everyone related to this game. But as a fellow user myself, I have assets in the game and my investments are on the game more than I can afford. I am positive about the upcoming days of Splinterlands. Well, this is not some blind faith that I am talking about. Also this is not any shitcoins that I am betting upon, where there will be some of hype and pump and dump will occur to make my money double or triple within minutes/hours/days.
I have seen from where Splinterlands has arrived and where it is, as of today! Which is why I believe in yabapmatt and the team. And for others it is completely upto you. As this is your money, time, investments in stake. You are your own savior, this is why web3 is decentralized. We are our own kings and queens ;) We can do whatever we want!
