Although I believe the entire endeavor to be wasted funds, I see value in Peakmonsters developing it. Made Splinterlands playable back in the day. You have my trust. Aligning with my beliefs, my Hive and SPL assets are pretty much zero.
The project wasn't a priority when times were good, and I don't think when financial viability is in question is the time to focus on it. SPS won't have value if the game itself folds.
With your expertise - how much would stuff need to change if SPL goes to another chain?
This is really difficult to answer. Probably someone that is (or was) part of their team is in a better position to do it.
My guess is that it will take quite some work and will be costly. Probably easier to go "multi-chain" and support both Hive and others rather than drop Hive completely.
Im wondering that to about the different chain thing incase we need to eventually. We should deff have a plan incase its something we cant avoid doing and since the proposal is not passed yet and if we need the funds we should not be wasting any time trying to look at all options until one presents it self as the solution. Even if that is moving off chain to a say EVM chain which i think if possible and we had the funding grant or something to do so would be a good tactical move if we are unable to get support here. There are grants being handed out on other ecosystems and all that to get games and dapps just like this in the door there and they all have deep deep pockets from there backers. Hive does not have those deep deep pockets even though the money might seem like a lot its a small fish compared to some of the others and is declining. We just halved in price as well so not sure what are market cap is but that is not a good sign maybe that is also why they are not wanting to fund bc of the low hive price.
