Something to think about as well. Mindset. The investor and the gamer are two different beasts. Both highly competitive for instance, but do not intertwine. Investor loses, it's game over. Gamer loses, it's time to start a new round. Investor feels like they're winning by getting in early. Gamer feels like they've lost before they started if they get in late. Investor wants a competitive edge. Gamer wants an even playing field. If the gamer wins every time, they lose interest. Investor wins every time, they gain interest.
Could go on and on but the point is, they're not even playing the same game. Some shared traits but built entirely different.

To end that with a joke, I want to say I'm certain these games would benefit from a few rounds of psychotherapy.

I, personally, do not want to single out any projects or individuals in this space. Nobody is right, nobody is wrong. It's their work, not mine. If I'm telling people how to do their jobs, I'm getting paid for it. I'm noticing many lean towards governance and governance tokens anyway. There's your say. No need to talk. But did anyone notice, by default, there are two conflicting parties? Naturally, it is highly unlikely the gamer will ever be in charge of the game. The hybrid is incredibly rare.

On another note, false advertising. Yeah, there's a lot of that and this new branch of industry seems hungry and doesn't mind eating itself to death, but since I'm not convinced, it's not my problem.
