I can agree that they built something amazing and got a buzz going. I played it a lot for a while, but part of the reason for stopping was that it was eating time. I never got into automating my playing as I couldn't see the point. I pay a service to manage my rentals instead, but the income from that is not much. Maybe it will improve if the game really takes off.

I think matters might have been helped if more players had got into other aspects of Hive, but it was barely mentioned on the game site. Hive has potential as an alternative to some things on reddit and Discord as a social platform based around interests. We need more people doing the social stuff.

I'm concentrating more on music stuff these days. Got various things going on and some will be on Hive, like the Vibes contest.
