Yes, I really hope they don't pull the plug completely. There could be a promising future in the game, especially if they can add in more synergy with Splinterlands. In my opinion, what Splinterlands needs more than anything is more exciting ways to play the game. Ranked battles are just stale to me as someone who was playing in 2018, and all of the extra rulesets, abilities and cards makes me less interested in playing. It's too much to keep track of, so I let my bot do it instead.
Soulkeep is the first new game I've gotten into in a while, and I think it's because it sort of feels like a new way to play Splinterlands. I would love to see it continue to grow with Splinterlands, and eventually even bring in some of the cards, and have the maps be actual places in Praetoria and stuff. It is ripe for the taking. I understand they've planned too much, bitten off more than they can chew, and that there aren't really the resources to build it all out... but I hope they see what could be with Soulkeep and Splinterlands and that they don't just let it die off.
But we'll just have to see what happens and how (a handful of powerful) people vote.
