RE: In-game wallet implementation and more...
@fotomindo, we have announced the will to switch to FUTURE some weeks ago. Even if the exchange rate seems to be a joke now, it's not, let me explain you why.
The actual price permit us to pay all players who are playing drugwars or holding FUTURE tokens.
All others solutions would leave half of the players without the guarantee so the possibility to change their tokens.
I'm open to suggestions and if you have any idea which guarantee a fair price for all players I would like to hear it.
If you tought that you could make a salary with drugwars I can't say anything except that you should not consider the game as a work, but day by day the value of FUTURE is increasing and the game is becoming sustainable in the long term. At least you should be able to recognize that ;)
@alexvanaken greedy? How much money did we made? how much fees do we have? do you have any idea of that? Unfortunately it's not worth as you and many others think. We may have made 25-30k with drugwars (or even not but let say that we made 30k), running the game and paying the team cost at less 5k per month. Beside that we are regularly making events , promotion and adding steem to the pool from our own pocket, while also powering up a big part of the Steem that we got. So please consider to analyse the situation by looking to the facts next time and not repeating things that you have heard somewhere else or that you have no idea about.
Ofc we can also be upset etc, but I trust that our team have a lot of respect for players but not only, we are acting the same way with everyone (even when they missrespect us or our work and even when they lie and try to to use imaginary things as fact).
@hightouch: if you just had an crypto economy expert in your team... you and your team would make more money in a sustainable way in the long run and you would have happy players..
.. to rescue what is left find someone who can make some decent cryptonomics modelling.. not sure if it is too late.. I still think you could turn around this thing...
@hightouch drugwars also announced, that there will be possibility to chose what reward player wants (steem, future token or 50/50). Also, You didn't announce, that rewards will be decreased by so much. Why You still accepting steem payments for upgrades and for so bad rate? You think this is honest from players side?
And that marketing trick with exchange..? Some shade exchange where I am not recommending to deposit any funds. No volume, couple of trading pairs...
One more think, all you did in total silence and without any explanation, only some kind of egg game :DD
I recognize that we have choosed another path for the payment system, and I also understand that can look sneaky, but this is clearly for the benefit of the game and so the players. It's hard to understand it but we are thinking about tomorrow when we are going to open the game to the public and link other blockchains.
We are accepting steem payment and we will continue to accept it beside all other cryptocurrencies. It's only a bad rate if you see the game only as an investment purpose. You can also choose to buy those tokens on Obyte or Cryptox to pay them with a greater price until we fix the shop and use the market price.
I agree that the reward is now lower (if you don't see any value in FUTURE or in the game), but it's definitely more sustainable for the players. Would you prefer to obtain 0 rewards with the time? You should also notice the fact that each time that someone is buyin tokens on our shop, it's increasing the value of FUTURE and so the reward obtained by each players. Do we get more benefit? Nop.
Does the players get more benefit when the price of FUTURE increase by 10-15% in the exchange (like it did in the last few days)? Yes.
So you should give us a bit more time to see what we try to do.
And I don't get what you mean about marketing trick. I would also like to see FUTURE on bigger exchanges but being listed directly on binance with a small project is clearly not possible.
@Hightouch I think, that Your bad is that drugwars gived big rewards at the beginning and then drastically reduced. Many players left or leaving game for that reason.
Its not looking sneaky but it is sneaky. First collect all that steem and give a hope for those people that they will get back at least initial inveatment and then cut down all rewards saying that this will be better for game.
This game is not so special (it was with steem rewards), that people would buy upgrades, troops or future tokens to kill other virtual troops for nothing :)
So, let's be honest, if its looks sneaky, feels sneaky then it is sneaky.
Sorry for my english.
@fotomindo Sir, pls consider that there are ppl earning $50+ worth of STEEM from the rewards pool for (simply) sharing fights: https://steemit.com/trending/drugwars-fight
They made a tough move, but it's still for the better; clearly wasn't sustainable at the start. If it works out, everyone who started playing early will be rewarded by multiples. We should spur them on to continue pushing the game forward.
@hightouch, thanks for starting with STEEM and giving us the opp to be early birds!
PS: ignore my memes; sarcasm/satire.
@alexvanaken:
You did'nt get a point :) so here is game of sharing fights on steemit?
No, my point is that those are rewards that are not accounted for in-game but are pretty extensive 😉
Personally, I'd rather a cookie than a point. Left my ego by the roadside some years ago, and I'm definitely not here to whine and (beg) for STEEM 😎👍
Don't forget how much BTC was given for that pizza...
If something is lucrative, it's probably way too late to join ;)
"Would you prefere to receive zero rewards over time?"
I rather not get scammed again by drugwars when paying for in-game upgrades and your game glitches again. Normal developers would refund their players when made a mistake. Drugwars tells them to just fuck off. You think people will forget this? It's not only me who had this issue.
"It's only a bad rate if you see the game only as an investment purpose."
Oh really? That's probably why you marketed the game just like that since the beginning. You created the high expectations yourselves by telling everyone they can earn steem with the game. And now they are suddenly the ones who are greedy? Wtf.

You are only just now being public with these “facts”. How would we know, until you tell us?
