I prefer the 13 weeks as it is. It takes a little while for big money to move around and if they are looking to do some shady stuff they have to deal with the opportunity cost of the 13 week power down once they get discovered and flagged.
It also just provides some nice security and gives people time to discover and resolve any issues.
I do think gaming is going to be an easy place for a lot of opportunity and growth. Gods Unchained raised $15 million on ETH from pack sales. Now they are going have to deal with the cost of gas and other issues for using that blockchain. While many wish Gods Unchained was on Steem we are just not at that point yet to see that kind of money being spent on a single product in the same time frame.
Hopefully one day we will be smashing records with how much gaming companies are able to raise for release products on Steem. They can further power up some of it and use that to reward content and other stuff as you mentioned. They could even hire out people already here to help them build it since it’s a digital good.
