I play that 'gacha game' for the aestheticism of it. Genuinely speaking, I saw it as a neat playable version of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The interaction of different elements in a world just seemed neat. I give the team responsible for game design a nod.
My critique comes from the exploitation of users. Of course, since the matter of specialization, the abstraction of value became another matter to resolve. Creating value or outputs from people's inputs of capital and time generates revenue.
Yet the exploitation for financial gain is the problem. Capitalizaing on fear and greed, a general population of maximizers are suffering fatigue on SMPs (social media platforms) from social comparison and falling for cryptocurrency scams.
I don't need to make a dollar. I rather share the stuff that helps us get better, because you don't anything else once it's over. And it's far from over.
I could wax poetic about many things, but following the eventful Ethereum conference I spoke at, I received an invitation to a new web3 SMP on Polygon. Needless to say, the opportunity for my academia and published photography to intersect with curiousity sounds really cool.
If only we could break the info asymmetry... People would be excited about this too. I can't assume their ignorance comes from spite, I know that. It comes from the fact I am not sharing with the best version of my system. That's my deterministic out look.
