I got into Splinterlands with a friend as a game with both played for years and put in a decent amount of money just suddenly stopped getting updates with no notice and fairly quickly raids and this stopped working. Come to find out the GMs that were running the server were making end game items and selling them to the highest $$ bidder, causing market crashes in game and when they got caught the parent company just basically dropped the server. That leaving a bad taste in our mouths brought us to the play-to-earn, blockchain styles games and Splinterlands. We've been loving it so far!
