I appreciate the transparency, courage to express your views, and the discussion now taking place.
I don't know those people but I know of some of them.
Haven't even heard of GLS before, so this is bad publicity finding out about it like this. Things like that don't happen when you got all your ducks in a row. At the same time, shit happens. Better hearing about it this way though, fully equipped with discussion and opposing viewpoints contained in one space, than hearing about it through gossip from some random passersby.
The splinterlands guys are behind this so I dont think the Hive publicity will affect the game much. Id say they made far less mistakes so far than would be expected to happen in this space.
I can agree with that and certainly don't hold mistakes against people. Well aware of their good track record.
In general, accumulating ill-gotten gains utilizing exploits is frowned upon, everywhere.
"I didn't know I shouldn't do that," doesn't work.
